From the article

Etienne has cleared 1,399 total yards in three-of-four healthy seasons, and it can be easily argued that this Saints OL is the best of Etienne's career. Additionally, the Saints played at the fastest neutral pace under coach Kellen Moore last season, a trend that dates back years as a play-caller. It's true that Alvin Kamara will play some, if not most, of the passing-down snaps as the complement, but Kamara is just a brand name at this point and only 23% of receiving fantasy points by RBs last year came on third down.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Etienne's elite early-down volume and best OL of career justify RB19 ADP despite Kamara's passing-down role.

Etienne has cleared 1,399 total yards in three-of-four healthy seasons and is joining the Saints with the best offensive line of his career. The Saints played at the fastest neutral pace under coach Kellen Moore last season. While Alvin Kamara will handle some passing-down snaps, only 23% of receiving fantasy points by RBs last year came on third down. Etienne had 35-of-36 receptions on early downs last year, making him the RB11 in fantasy points per game despite only RB27 receptions per game—demonstrating the value of goal-line and early-down volume at a falling ADP.
