Audric Estime rushed 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Saints’ Week 9 win over the Browns.

09 November 2026

Estime was waived by the Browns on Monday. The Saints claimed him on Tuesday and he was their starting back by Sunday. Life comes at you fast. Kellen Moore made it a point to get Estime going early with three carries for him on their first three plays of the game. He gashed the Browns 32 yards on those three attempts alone. He would later punch in a goal line touchdown to give the Saints the lead in the fourth quarter. Estime will be the Saints’ lead runner until Travis Etienne is activated from injured reserve. That could happen as soon as Week 10, so fantasy managers shouldn’t count on another usable week from Estime anytime soon.
