From the episode

I think we're more in the territory right now of Etienne where you are stashing him, but you certainly can't start him until something changes... I think that's where we're at with Etienne where I want to stash him right now because if it changes, we suddenly have an RB2 that we have to start.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Stash Etienne for potential RB2 upside if Saints usage shifts; don't drop.

John Daigle recommends stashing Etienne rather than dropping him, comparing the situation to Travion Henderson last year; Etienne cannot be started until the Saints' backfield usage changes, but his guaranteed contract and draft capital mean a sudden role shift could elevate him to RB2 status immediately. Daigle also notes he is receiving drop questions from fantasy managers.
