From the episode

I was really excited about him before Kamara, but the idea that I could watch him beat David Montgomery and just kind of plod along on first and second down, Kamara gets all the catches and Kamara gets the goal line work, is like, man, that would suck if you took Travis Etienne in round four and then he just kind of grind it out 85 yards for not having that many catches.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Kamara's arrival threatens Etienne's passing and goal-line work, risking his fantasy value.

Bill Simmons expresses concern that Etienne's role will be diminished by Alvin Kamara's arrival; Kamara will likely handle third-down passing work and goal-line touches that were central to Etienne's fantasy value. Etienne had six receiving touchdowns last year, and if those evaporate due to Kamara's presence, it will significantly hurt his fantasy outlook. Simmons notes that taking Etienne in round four could result in him grinding out 85 yards with few catches, making him a risky pick despite his talent.
