Audric Estime vs Devin Neal: Who Should You Start?
Audric Estime (6.0 PPG) and Devin Neal (5.2 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two running backs are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Audric Estime played 7 games for the New Orleans Saints; Devin Neal suited up 10 times for the New Orleans Saints.
A 0.8-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Audric Estime ran for 198 yards and 1 touchdowns; Devin Neal posted 206 and 2. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
