Audric Estime Injury History & Analysis

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider named QB Bo Nix, RB Audric Estime, and WR Troy Franklin as potential “breakout candidates” in 2025. Nix finished QB8 in fantasy scoring as a rookie, so you could argue he’s not a fit here. But Estime and Franklin both underwhelmed in Year 1, so there’s room for growth.

Broncos RB Audric Estime is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Bills. RB Tyler Badie is active for the first time since Week 4. He joins Jaleel McLaughlin and Javonte Williams in the backfield. McLaughlin remains the top fantasy play, although Estime's absence probably gives the biggest boost to Williams.

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) is not listed on the final injury report and will be back for Saturday's game vs. the Bengals. Denver figures to deploy at least a three-RB committee with McLaughlin, Javonte Williams, and Audric Estime in that one. We'll see if RB Blake Watson stays involved. And WR Marvin Mims has also been getting backfield work lately. It's a RB group to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
