Michael Burton News
Wednesday, March 26, 2:35 PM
The Denver Broncos are re-signing fullback Michael Burton for the 2025 campaign, according to team reporter Zac Stevens. Burton was originally a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2015 out of Rutgers and has spent time with the Lions, Bears, Saints, Redskins, Chiefs, and Broncos. He reunited with Sean Payton in Denver in 2023 and is back for his third season with the organization. The 33-year-old is primarily utilized as a pure blocker, but he has compiled 42 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns in 147 career games. He's hauled in 31 receptions for 196 yards and two scores as a receiver. In 2025, he could be blocking for a highly-drafted rookie running back like North Carolina's Omarion Hampton or Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson.

Audric Estimé News
Saturday, August 15, 5:27 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's preseason contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Kellen Moore told Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Estime's final touch of the game was a loss of six yards on a reception with 8:40 left in the second quarter. Prior to exiting, the 22-year-old had five carries, 28 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. It was an impressive performance, and it might have been enough to vault Estime to No. 3 on the depth chart behind Travis Etienne Jr. and Alvin Kamara. Assuming he's not sidelined for too long, he's likely on track to earn a roster spot, albeit as a depth piece with minimal fantasy value. Ty Chandler took over as the Saints' primary ball-carrier after Estime left the game.
