Etienne's role fragile despite big money; Moore's offense ranks 28th in RB target rate.

Despite New Orleans handing Etienne real money this offseason, the Saints didn't provide him a role that uses him. Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier views him as an elite true tailback, but HC Kellen Moore's offense has consistently ranked in the bottom half of the league in RB target rate over five seasons (2021 DAL: 20th, 2022: 26th, 2023 LAC: 26th, 2024 PHI: 19th, 2025 NO: 28th). Additionally, Alvin Kamara's return—despite early injury—makes it unlikely Etienne picks up the third-down and two-minute role, profiling him as an RB with a fragile workload to avoid.
