Video: Adam Schefter's 2026 Fantasy Football News and Notes!
you've got this backfield with Travis ETN and you've got Alvin Kamara... Elvin Kamaro is going to play a significant role on third downs and that just takes so much off the the shine off of ETN. I I don't think I could draft ETN at that ADP right now.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Kamara's return significantly diminishes role; avoid at current ADP.

Alvin Kamara's contract restructure and return to the Saints backfield significantly diminishes Etienne's standalone value. Schefter notes Kamara 'is going to play a significant role on third downs,' which 'takes so much off the shine off of ETN.' Despite being bullish on Etienne all summer and liking him in a Kyle Moore offense, Schefter states 'I don't think I could draft ETN at that ADP right now' due to the Kamara competition. However, Schefter later softens slightly, saying he's 'okay with Travis Etienne' and took him in a best-ball draft, though he acknowledges the role diminishment.
