He managed just 37-of-68 snaps against the Ravens in Week 2... Even after a surprise scratch of Kendre Miller, Alvin Kamara and CJ Donaldson(?) both played 20 snaps. Etienne managed just eight carries for 25 yards on the ground and two for six through the air... is probably not what you were hoping for when you likely spent a near top-50 pick on him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Etienne gets 37 snaps, 8 carries; uncomfortable RB2/RB3 despite offseason investment.

Etienne managed just 37-of-68 snaps against the Ravens in Week 2, with only eight carries for 25 yards on the ground and two for six through the air. Even with Kendre Miller scratched, Alvin Kamara and CJ Donaldson both played 20 snaps. The source notes the only reason Etienne reached RB2 standards in Week 1 was a comeback game script that gave him PPR scam potential. Despite getting the money this offseason, Etienne is now an uncomfortable low-end RB2/RB3, likely not what managers hoped for when they spent a near top-50 pick on him.
