From the article

The Saints signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a big contract this offseason, presumably to be a workhorse in Kellen Moore's offense. With Alvin Kamara sidelined for Week 1, the veteran should have dominated New Orleans' backfield. Instead, he found himself in an ugly timeshare. Kendre Miller tied Etienne in carries (nine), and undrafted free agent (UDFA) CJ Donaldson served as the team's third-down back.

Etienne in ugly timeshare despite big contract; Miller tied him in carries.

Despite being signed to a big contract to be a workhorse in Kellen Moore's offense, Etienne found himself in an ugly timeshare in Week 1 with Alvin Kamara sidelined. Kendre Miller tied Etienne in carries (nine), and undrafted free agent CJ Donaldson served as the team's third-down back. While Etienne's final fantasy numbers looked decent thanks to seven receptions, the source characterizes this as 'not good' and suggests the workhorse role did not materialize.
