Who Should I Start? Tyler Goodson or Audric Estime

Friday, October 3, 7:42 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium after missing practice all week, according to Amanda Foster of Colts.com. Goodson suffered the injury in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. The 24-year-old second-year back has only been active for two games in four weeks for Indy due to injuries, and he only has two carries for six yards on the season as backfield depth for the Colts. Goodson has no business being rostered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues right now. With him missing yet another game, rookie DJ Giddens should serve as the backup for workhorse Jonathan Taylor against the Raiders, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley serving as additional depth.

New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime figures to have a larger role in the offense for the upcoming Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Saints are going to be without lead back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) for at least one game. That means, Devin Neal will take over as the lead back. However, Estime, Evan Hull, and Taysom Hill could see a role as well. Estime was signed to the active roster a few weeks ago, but has been mainly a depth option. The 22-year-old is still young enough to re-establish his value with his new team. Estime won't be worth starting this weekend, but could be someone worth stashing in dynasty formats.
