Estime ran well behind Javonte Williams, who had -2 yards on eight rushing attempts. Jaleel McLaughlin managed 44 yards on seven rushes in another frustrating week for anyone trying to figure out the ever-changing Denver backfield. Estime, who had six rushes in Week 11, won't be playable in Week 13 against the Browns.
McLaughlin did not catch his lone target on the day. He was easily the most effective Broncos back against the Raiders; Javonte Williams somehow had -2 yards on eight rushing attempts while Audric Estime had 15 yards on six carries. McLaughlin appeared to sustain a lower body injury in the first half so his practice status will be worth monitoring. Seeing almost no pass game usage, McLaughlin won't be usable in fantasy formats in Week 13 against Cleveland.
Amon-Ra St. Brown helped lead a Lions offensive outburst in Week 11, whereas Audric Estime failed to take on a larger role after a promising showing the week before.
Payton rug pulled fantasy managers yet again when he played Javonte Williams in a lead role after limiting him to just one carry in Week 10. Any thoughts of Audric Estime stepping into the team's RB1 role can be temporarily shelved, as Payton appears unwilling to commit to any of his three backs as the focal point of their offense. This will make for a sticky situation going forward as the Broncos prepare to face the Raiders in Week 12.
