Not a terrible long-term play if you’ve got roster space. I had a spot for him in one league. Got him for $2 FAAB. Maybe Kamara isn’t a saint next year and Estime gets a shot.

More likely Estime is working 7/11. I’d rather hook my horse up to Neal.

Neal is unlikely to be available in the majority of dynasty leagues though. I’d rather be eating at a 5-star restaurant tonight but easier said than done.

Hell, Estime was only available in 1 of my 5 dynasty leagues.

Seriously—I’ve been astonished at how thoroughly Tracy was kicked to the curb.

…

EDIT: Estime is not going to be usable in fantasy unless he basically becomes the Kurt Warner of RBs. Too long of a shot.

Yeah, that context is important.

And no, I traded you for @TheWinz right before his breakout poster season. You went on the IR shortly afterwards.

Reminds me of my future prediction that eventually fantasy football will surpass football itself in popularity, and then people will start making fantasy fantasy football leagues, where you draft the fantasy football drafters that you think will draft the best.

I mean correct me if Im wrong but the Saints RB depth chart consists of a 30 year old RB with a ton of mileage on him, a rookie with 3 career carries and a converted WR on his third team in 3 years. Estime doesn't have a lot to overcome to see playing time.

Right- the guy's barely 22 years old and comes with a 19 year old breakout age. I've taken one shot and plan to take another if he's still out there Saturday.

Deep rosters. I think it’s finally safe to cut Carr. And I mean DAVID Carr.

ETA on topic: I rostered Estime on 3 of my 4 Dynasty FFPC leagues this off-season and cut him in every one (obviously) and not interested in picking him up in any….and I’m starting Vidal and Sampson in one league this weekend.

Ok sure but I’m looking to sell high on @TheWinz - he’s been on a hot streak of posting, and I fear the bottom’s gonna fall out at some point. Better a year too early than a year too late, amirite? What will you give me for him?

And don’t come at me with some lowball 4 guys who just joined FBG last week saying “the calc likes it” - I was born at night, it wasn’t last night.

Amazing, is it not? I've taken my lumps on Skattebo like I generally always do. I loved his jumps but his forty was terrible. He still won't break a ton of long ones, but that doesn't matter for what he is and what he now means to that team. Tracy got a lot of run this weekend in Denver for a team with Skattebo, though, so look for that.

I was going to analyze it, but a) who needs my analysis and b) I feel like warmed over garbage today and the thought process is not as sharp as I'd like

Heh.

But yeah, I hoped for Tracy b/c I rostered him as my RB2 and disclosed that pretty much everywhere I said it to the point of being redundant. Skattebo is, as we speak, the back the Giants would prefer and he's probably a better back for a wide majority of teams.

Estime doesn't have much in front of him. Miller was excellent at forcing missed and broken tackles this year. Neal is not as athletic, but spaces well and should be good to go if his athleticism holds up. Estime is not fast and probably lacks the physical attributes to make it work, but if he does get volume for whatever reason, he will be valuable.

Once @TheWinz gets knocked out of the Subscribers Contest, his post count drops by 73%. I have the stats to back this up. Sell high if you can.

I was thinking like maybe @BassNBrew or maybe @FreeBaGeL and a future poster to be named later. Maybe better for the value topic.

The online edition of Fantasy Dork Magazine, of course. Don’t let it go to your head. I’m of the opinion that it was your leaked bikini pics that got you into the top 50, but that’s a bit of a controversial take.

Fun Fact: His name was flashed during the ND vs USC game last weekend. Jerimiyah Love set his personal single game rushing record at 228 yards.

Estime is still above him on the ND all-time single game rushing list with 238 vs Stanford in 2023.

Ha. I saw that too.

 

[steelcityman]

In the right offense on the right team Dric could rush for 1000 yards. Denver wasnt it, their HC is an egomaniac, Philly had a stable of RBs, Saints are awful. The Steelers and Ravens dont need RB, but on those teams he could be menace to defenses. But looks like his career is over before it ever started. Big dude with quick feet.

 

[Bri]

He's been exposed as just a guy.

IIRC he had a tryout and wasn't signed and then an injury or two got him added to the PS. Ya can't press lofty expectations into that.

You're wrong or your sentiment is.
We've all been there too
No uber talented wonderful player is walking away from a tryout without an offer to a RB needy team.

Fair enough if ya want him to get his day n all, we've all been there too

For now he's clearly just a guy
Cuts, tryouts, expectations should be dimmed
