Audric Estimé News
Saturday, January 3, 12:14 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime delivered the best game of his career in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans, handling 14 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch (one target) for four yards. The Saints leaned more into the second-year back in Week 17 after giving tight end Taysom Hill 16 touches in the final home game of the season in Week 16. Estime broke off a 32-yard touchdown to essentially ice the game for the Saints, and he figures to be a key part of the offense in the season finale against the Falcons, with multiple starters ruled out, including Alvin Kamara (knee). The Falcons rank in the middle of the pack in PPR points per game allowed to running backs this season, but they concede the seventh-most yards per carry (4.6). Estime should be in line for around 15 touches, making him a viable flex option in Week 18.

Jordan James News
Tuesday, April 21, 12:40 PM
A fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James spent his rookie season buried on the Niners' running back depth chart. James was slowed by a preseason injury and did not record a single carry during the regular season. However, the 22-year-old recorded six carries for 28 yards during the 49ers' NFC Divisional Round loss to the Seattle Seahawks and drew praise from San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan for the way he closed the year. Offseason reporting indicates that James could be the frontrunner to open 2026 as the primary backup to star 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. If that comes to fruition, James would be just one injury away from fantasy prominence. In dynasty formats, James profiles as a sneaky buy-low candidate whose value will likely gain traction following the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.
