From the article

The Saints ran 90 plays in Week 1. Travis Etienne touched the ball on only 16 of them. Deeply bizarre, especially since sub-replacement level backup Kendre Miller notched nine carries, or as many as Etienne. Now Alvin Kamara (knee) is expected back for Week 2. Again, strange things happen in one-game sample sizes. Etienne's seven receptions were also nice. I just can't help but come away concerned that was the plan for the Saints' $52 million back in the craziest game they will play all year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Etienne touched ball just 16 times in 90-play game; deeply concerning.

Etienne touched the ball on only 16 of the Saints' 90 Week 1 plays, which the source calls deeply bizarre. Sub-replacement level backup Kendre Miller notched nine carries, as many as Etienne. With Alvin Kamara expected back for Week 2, the source is concerned this was the plan for the Saints' $52 million back in the craziest game they will play all year. Etienne's seven receptions were nice, but the overall usage is troubling.
