RB Audric Estime, DEN (1 Viewer)

[BobbyLayne]

We’ve totally got fantasy football figured out.

(Posted here and in the Javonte thread )

Jatden Daniels, James Cook, Tony Pollard, Austin Ekeler, and Audric Estime....

ALL had fewer yards rushing in Week 11 than....





























Jared Goff.

It is clear Payton is ready to move on from Javonte. Estime has his chance and it's up to him to run with it.

First off, it is not clear one bit that Payton is "ready to move on" from Javonte. The snap count last week says this is most likely a hot hand/game flow type situation (at least until a clear winner emerges). And even though JW has struggled with consistency, he is a far better receiver and easily the RB room's best pass protector. He also has a history of responding well when his job is threatened.

And you haven't done squat to support your hot takes that "it's pretty clear which direction this is going" and "it is clear Payton is ready to move on from Javonte."

Nothing is clear. It was one game.

Payton has previewed it, put it in action and reaffirmed it. You really struggle at comprehension.

CLEARLY Payton is ready to move on from Javonte

apparently i missed this last Thursday:

Broncos OC Joe Lombardi said giving Audric Estimé the lion's share of the Broncos running-back carries last Sunday was a scenario where "you ride the hot hand."

"We feel good about him. But we feel good about Javonte. We feel good about Jaleel," Lombardi said. "But he was the one that was kind of on the good end of the reps. And [when] you keep gaining yards when you get the ball, we keep giving you the ball."

I'm not sure how Estime was supposed to get hot after 1 carry the 2nd drive, but whatever. We now know the deal.

Joe Lombardi doesn't call the plays. Payton does.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Joe Lombardi should never be allowed to call plays in an NFL offense.

Never.

Whelp!

Payton not to be trusted.

I'm sure he'll be on the bench for me this week and he'll break out.

One encouraging sign: He actually CAN catch the ball.

Yes. And he is surprisingly agile in space for a 230-pounder

That hurdle on a dump off was sweet (even though didn't count)

Payton is a master troll. He even got Marvin Mims a TD (the guy he's been saying would get more involved for the past 13 months) on the day he pulled the football away at the last second on Estime.

 

[The Frankman]

I'm going to have to check Payton on the Coachspeak Index. For some reason I never checked it despite his history of chicanery and shenanigans.

I honestly think there are some coaches out there that enjoy messing with the fantasy community, and Payton is a patron saint of that group.

Or maybe the fantasy commmunity is overestimating how much coaches care or are messing with us and, instead, realize that he’s mostly messing with the opposing team’s game plan.

Possibly, but you don't hear him (unless I missed it) espousing misleading information about other players that are probably more prominent in the game plan than RB.

Fair enough but I have no clue since I don’t follow the Broncos….i actually do the opposite as a Raiders fan.
