**Fantasy Football Surprise: Broncos' Running Back Shake-Up**
Fantasy football enthusiasts faced another surprising twist this week courtesy of Denver Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton. After an impressive Week 10 performance, fifth-round rookie running back Audric Estimé had garnered significant buzz among managers. His increased workload seemed to signal a changing of the guard, leaving veteran Javonte Williams with a solitary carry.
Managers eagerly invested their Fantasy Auction Budget (FAB) in Estimé ahead of Week 11, expecting him to lead the backfield. However, the veteran Williams reclaimed his position, frustrating 75% of Yahoo league managers who had benched him. In stark contrast to his 29% snap share from the previous week, Williams surged back to a 52% share, securing 13 touches and scoring, ultimately delivering 16.7 fantasy points—his second-highest score of the season.
As the team gears up for a Week 12 showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders, who allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game this season, the Broncos' backfield situation remains intriguingly uncertain. The dynamic trio of Williams, Estimé, and the elusive Jaleel McLaughlin raises questions about which running back will emerge as the standout performer.
With the backfield appearing to be a three-headed monster, fantasy managers are left to speculate about who will shine against the Raiders and provide those critical fantasy points.
