Travis Etienne being pronounced Etienne vs. Achane is the new Twitter vs. X. Just going to be saying both for the next decade. And I hate it, but it's going to happen. I have no choice.

Authors' startable pick (RB20 ADP); was RB10 last year and RB3 in 2023, talent obvious. New Orleans restructured Alvin Kamara and made clear he's staying involved; closer to 60-40 split caps him at high-end startable instead of league winner. Community support minimal but no major pushback.

PositiveRoleJul 24, 2026Canal Street Chronicles

Etienne signed a four-year, $52 million contract with the Saints on March 13 and is being groomed to take over as Alvin Kamara's successor. At 27 years old, he is positioned to become the team's lead rusher as Kamara (30, in final year of restructured deal) is likely to retire after the season. In 2025 with Jacksonville, Etienne posted a career year: 1,107 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns on 260 carries, plus 6 receiving touchdowns on 36 receptions for 292 yards. An overwhelming 59% of voters in the source's poll selected Etienne as the Saints' leading rusher this season.

Etienne joins the Saints as a newcomer to pair with Alvin Kamara in the backfield. Deuce McAllister expects Etienne to add explosiveness to the Saints running game and take pressure off Kamara, giving the offense the one-two RB duo it has lacked in recent years.
