From the episode

I do feel a lot more comfortable with him now that Alvin Kamara is dealing with the injury... high end RB2 is probably more of the realistic ceiling for him

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Etienne is a safer play with Kamara injured, projecting as a high-end RB2.

Travis Etienne's outlook is more comfortable following Alvin Kamara's injury. While Kamara's presence was a threat to Etienne's opportunity share, the source remains skeptical that Kamara would have been a reliable contributor or a high-volume receiver in Kellen Moore's offense. Etienne is viewed as a high-end RB2 with low-end RB1 upside.
