From the episode
Travis Achan in New Orleans. We have Alvin Kamara coming back... Week one, nine attempts. 15.7 expected fantasy points... 58% snap share... 16.1% target share. Only ran a route on 36.5% of the dropbacks... Nine targets, seven receptions for only 32 yards.
STACKED’s take
Etienne's Week 1 letdown (9 carries, 58% snaps) signals role risk with Kamara's return.
Travis Etienne delivered a disappointing Week 1 result in New Orleans with only nine carries, 15.7 expected fantasy points, and no touches inside the 10 or 5-yard line despite a 58% snap share. While he showed efficiency metrics (5.11 yards per carry, 0.22 missed tackles forced per attempt, 3.33 yards before contact), his passing role was limited at 16.1% target share and 36.5% route participation, yielding only nine targets for seven receptions and 32 yards. The source views this as potentially significant disappointment, especially with Alvin Kamara returning, which threatens to eliminate Etienne's check-down passing role and leave his role in New Orleans unclear.
