Who Should I Start? Audric Estime or Jordan James

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.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Watkins (coach's decision) and running back Jordan James (coach's decision) are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Watkins and James both missed last week's season opener, and even though they're healthy for Week 2, the rookies will watch Sunday's game from the sideline. Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore will round out the wide receiver room behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Meanwhile, Isaac Guerendo will handle RB3 duties behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr.
