2025 Fantasy Outlook
A fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2024, Estime earned a small but steady role in the backfield late in the campaign, with his first two career rushing TDs coming in the final three regular-season games. The bruising back was a healthy scratch for Denver's wild-card loss to Buffalo though, and while the offseason departure of Javonte Williams leaves the team without a clear RB1, the Broncos added second-round pick RJ Harvey and free-agent signing J.K. Dobbins. Those two are favorites to get most of the backfield work, likely leaving Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie and Blake Watson to compete for one or two roster spots. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a contract with the Saints in November of 2025.
Plays workhorse role in loss
Estime rushed 21 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 43 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined once again to close out the season, Estime easily paced the Saints' ground attack in carries and rushing yards for a second straight week. The second-year pro was much less efficient than during his 14-carry, 94-yard performance against the Titans in Week 17, but Estime helped make up for it with an impressive day as a pass catcher. Estime put some good play on tape over the last two games, and with Kamara's future uncertain, it's possible Estime enters the final year of his deal with New Orleans in position to compete for significant playing time in 2026.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taken in the fifth round in the 2024 Draft, Estime joins a crowded Denver backfield that saw Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin all handle 100 or more touches last season. The Notre Dame product offers a physical, smash-mouth profile the others lack, giving him a clear path to a goal-line role, especially if the Broncos want to try and avoid more wear and tear on Williams' knees. Power backs such as Mark Ingram have thrived in Sean Payton's offense, so there is a template for success for Estime, but he'll need to beat out the competition first.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely Saints' RB1 for Week 18
Estime will probably continue to lead the Saints' backfield in Week 18 against the Falcons, as Alvin Kamara remained sidelined at Thursday's practice due to knee and ankle injuries.
ANALYSIS
Kamara has missed five consecutive games and is trending toward another absence as he has yet to return to practice. After Devin Neal suffered a season-ending hamstring injury, Estime ceded the majority of rushing opportunities to Taysom Hill in Week 16 against the Jets before taking over as the lead back in Week 17 against the Titans. After rushing 14 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for four yards against Tennessee, Estime is poised to retain the lead back role for the regular-season finale against the Falcons.
