Audric Estime Surprises as RB1 With 16 Touches

Estime finished as the RB8 for Week 9 so far, running 15 times for 72 yards and a TD against his former team. He also caught his only target for 5 yards. The Saints claimed Estime off waivers from Cleveland on Tuesday, then released Kendre Miller on Saturday. With CJ Donaldson out (shoulder, concussion) and Travis Etienne still on IR, Estime and Alvin Kamara split the backfield. Kamara played 37 snaps to Estime’s 35, but ran only 6 times for 32 yards.
