From the article

He might struggle to approach last year's 296 touches or 253.9 fantasy points, at least based on his usage these first two weeks. After losing goal-line carries to Kendre Miller in Week 1, Etienne was out-carried and out-touched by Alvin Kamara, though he did play a larger percentage of offensive snaps (53%-30%). Tyler Shough also handled the winning touchdown sneak, further signaling that Kellen Moore's offense is more role reliant than centered on a single running back. Etienne might be locked into low-end RB2 status.
