From the episode
they paid Etienne a ton of money, a ton of money to be the guy. But of course, they're paying Kamara a ton of money also... now we have him projected less than 200 carries... 50 targets and like 190 carries, that's not an RB1, that's not even close.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalUsage
Etienne's workload share collapsed; now projected for sub-RB1 volume despite big contract.
Etienne ceded 50% of the workload to Kendra Miller in week one, then saw Alvin Kamara take significant work in week two. Matt Kelley notes that despite Etienne's large contract and the Saints' high-scoring offense, the fantasy point-rich opportunities have not materialized as expected. Projections have been adjusted downward to approximately 190 carries and 50 targets, which Kelley states is not RB1 production regardless of offensive context.
