Who Should I Start? Zavier Scott or Audric Estimé

Indianapolis Colts running back Zavier Scott rushed the ball 11 times for 55 and a touchdown in the team's win against the Cardinals on Saturday. Scott led all running backs in carries and yards as Indy mixed in four different backs for the game. The former Maine Black Bear spent last season primarily on the Colts' practice squad and will continue to fight for a spot on the 53-man roster this season. Scott has one more chance to solidify himself when the Colts face off against the Bengals for their final preseason game on Thursday.

With Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) out for the Week 16 contest on Thursday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, rookie Audric Estime was Denver's lead rusher in the 34-27 loss. Estime had team-highs in carries (nine) and rushing yards (48) while finding the end zone for the first time in his NFL career. He was not targeted in the passing game. The nine carries were the second-most that the 21-year-old fifth-rounder has seen in his first year in the NFL, and he averaged a healthy 5.3 yards per carry. The Broncos certainly have high hopes for Estime in the long term, but how big of a role he'll have in a strong matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals' porous defense in Week 17 will probably all come down to the health of McLaughlin. The fact that Estime hasn't really been utilized in the running game would also make him no better than an RB3/flex if McLaughlin misses another game.
