Travis Etienne is expected to miss time due to a hamstring injury. Prior to the injury, he had been sharing the backfield workload, though he recently recorded a career-high 57 rushing yards.NegativeInjuryNo date
Travis Etienne is currently dealing with hamstring issues, which has limited his consistency and health, negatively impacting the team's run game efficiency.NegativeRoleNo date
Travis Etienne Jr. is signed to a $13 million annual contract, indicating team investment and expectation of a full-time role, but Matt Waldman expresses uncertainty about whether Etienne will actually secure that full-time job despite the financial commitment. Etienne has posted two top-10 fantasy finishes in the last three years but is a career 4.2 yards-per-carry back who has never reached the dual-threat level expected. His ADP at RB18 seems low given the Saints' offensive line concerns (23rd in run block win rate, 30th in yards before contact). The fear is that Etienne will start the season as the RB1 but by midseason could be in a full-blown committee with the hot hand. If he had a better offensive line and proven quarterback, he'd likely be drafted in Kenneth Walker's range.
