FantasyPros Articles on Travis Etienne
From the article
In Week 1, it was Kendre Miller who matched Etienne with nine carries each. Miller took all the goal line work while Etienne drew nine targets. In Week 2, Miller was inactive with the return of Alvin Kamara, but it was Kamara leading the way with nine carries and five receptions on six targets compared to Etienne's nine carries and two receptions on two targets. In each of the first two games, CJ Donaldson has operated as the third down back, playing 20 snaps and running seven routes on Sunday.
STACKED’s take
Etienne faces three-back committee despite $48M deal; zero scores through two weeks.
Despite inking a four-year, $48 million contract with the New Orleans Saints, Etienne's role is murky. In Week 1, Kendre Miller matched Etienne with nine carries each while taking all goal line work; Etienne drew nine targets. In Week 2, Miller was inactive with Alvin Kamara's return, but Kamara led with nine carries and five receptions on six targets compared to Etienne's nine carries and two receptions on two targets. CJ Donaldson operates as the third down back, playing 20 snaps and running seven routes on Sunday. The Saints' offense plays at a fast pace and runs a high volume of plays, but it won't support weekly production for any running backs with this kind of rotation. Etienne has zero scores thus far, representative of his lack of valuable touches.
