From the article
Travis Etienne Jr. is eligible to return from IR after the Saints' bye week after suffering a hamstring injury a month ago. ETN was brought in to fix the run game for the Saints - which has been completely abysmal in his absence. If he can get healthy, I think he's a great buy-low candidate among RBs...I like him as a buy-low target for RB-needy teams with the Saints out of sight and out of mind.
STACKED’s take
Etienne is a buy-low target returning after bye with elite ROS schedule and 22.4% RB target share.
Etienne is eligible to return from IR after the Saints' bye week following a hamstring injury suffered a month ago. The source identifies him as 'a great buy-low candidate among RBs' because he should reclaim his starting job and the Saints' run game could improve significantly with his return. New Orleans ranks bottom-5 in rushing yards and EPA/rush this season; in Week 7 they rushed 17 times for 18 yards (1.1 YPC). The source notes the Saints have one of the best schedules ROS for fantasy RBs and should also get guard Cesar Ruiz and potentially OT Kelvin Banks back. Additionally, New Orleans ranks 4th in RB target share this season (22.4%), which bodes well for Etienne to see a receiving role even with Kamara still involved. The source concludes: 'I like him as a buy-low target for RB-needy teams with the Saints out of sight and out of mind.'
