Who Should I Start? Audric Estime or Isaiah Davis

Wednesday, August 27, 5:32 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime to their practice squad on Wednesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Estime was on the open market after failing to make the Broncos' 53-man roster in a backfield that includes rookie RJ Harvey, veteran J.K. Dobbins, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie. In Philadelphia, he'll start on the practice squad for the reigning Super Bowl champions while providing depth behind Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and AJ Dillon. He's still very young at 21 years old and was selected in the fifth round (147th overall) last year out of Notre Dame. Estime got a little bit of run in his first NFL season with Denver, carrying the ball 76 times for 310 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (one start). He can be avoided in all fantasy leagues for now.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis had a breakout performance in Week 8, racking up 109 yards on just 12 touches in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets leaned on their backfield in their best offensive game of the season, with both Davis and Breece Hall taking advantage of Cincinnati's soft run defense. While Davis isn't yet a fantasy starter, trade rumors surrounding Hall could quickly change that. Hall is in the final year of his contract, and with the 1-7 Jets unlikely to contend, the team could look to move him for future assets. If that happens, Davis would step into a significant role and could emerge as a valuable fantasy stash with RB1 upside down the stretch.
