Should I start Audric Estime or Tank Dell in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 1:21 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Tank Dell: 36 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 2 games, against Audric Estime's 26 percent of the snaps and 40 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size307 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Audric Estime, and the board ranks him 128th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Tank Dell, and the board ranks him 129th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Audric Estime is 3.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Tank Dell is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Audric Estime's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 9
Through Week 9, Audric Estime has been on the field for 26 percent of NO snaps, taken 40 percent of the carries, drawn 2 percent of the targets and had 36 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 0 of the offence's 17 third down targets, had 2 of its 3 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 15 two minute targets.
His 1 target have come 7.0 yards behind the line of scrimmage on average.
In Week 6 against BAL he carried 9 times for 19 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
In Week 9 against CLE he carried 15 times for 72 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for 5 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
Through Week 9, Tank Dell has been on the field for 36 percent of HOU snaps, drawn 15 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 1 of the offence's 19 third down targets, had 0 of its 4 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 16 two minute targets.

Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Audric Estime played 7 games and scored 48.1 PPR points, 6.9 a game, finishing RB71.
He carried 46 times for 198 yards and 1 touchdown, and caught 12 of 13 targets for 103 more yards.
That came to 6.6 carries a game at 4.3 yards a carry and 1.7 catches a game.
He was on the field for 31 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
The season feed carries no line for Tank Dell in the last completed season.
Side by side
Audric Estime is a running back and Tank Dell a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
