Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he expects to use rookie running back Audric Estime more down the stretch in 2024. Estime played only 10 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 9 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday but had as many carries (five) as Jaleel McLaughlin and was more efficient with 35 rushing yards. The 35 yards on the ground was a season-high for the 21-year-old fifth-round selection out of Notre Dame, and he's been quite efficient with 6.3 yards per carry on his 15 rushing attempts through the first five games of his career. Estime probably still won't be worth adding in 12-team fantasy leagues, but this statement from Payton is surely bad news for McLaughlin, who has averaged 3.9 yards per tote in 2024 after averaging 5.4 yards per carry in his rookie campaign in 2023.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Daijun Edwards turned three carries into 28 yards and a rushing touchdown while adding a reception for nine yards in the team's 20-12 preseason loss to the Houston Texans. He also picked up 27 yards on his lone kick return. The undrafted rookie made an impact immediately upon checking in at the start of the fourth quarter, exploding for a 24-yard gain on his second attempt. He capped off the drive with a one-yard score on the very next play. The Georgia product tallied 1078 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns in his final collegiate season and could certainly push for a roster spot in Pittsburgh, especially given his usage on special teams. Edwards will look to make the most of his opportunities once again next week when the Steelers face the Buffalo Bills.
