Claimed off waivers by New Orleans earlier in the week to add some depth to a depleted backfield, Estime ended up going up against his former Browns squad in his first game since rejoining the Saints. Since he had played for the Saints in 2025 and didn't need to learn head coach Kellen Moore's playbook, Estime was in prime position to step into a big role right away and capitalized on the opportunity, leading the backfield with 16 touches ahead of Alvin Kamara's nine. Estime capped his big performance with a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. While he certainly made a case for a consistent role in the offense, rookie CJ Donaldson (shoulder) could be back next week and Travis Etienne (hamstring) might be close to returning from injured reserve. Estime could still be atop the depth chart, at least temporarily, for a Week 10 clash with the Panthers.
