Travis Etienne comes over from Jacksonville to become the lead back in New Orleans. Etienne's 2025 campaign was his most productive season since his rookie year, which is more impressive when we consider the year started as a three-man attack along with Tank Bigsby and Bhayshul Tuten. That crowded backfield in Jacksonville lowered his draft price considerably, but his production showcased just what Etienne could do.
His arrival in New Orleans positions him for similar success. But we cannot forget about Alvin Kamara, who Kellen Moore said would remain in the mix. There have also been whispers that Kamara could be elsewhere at the beginning of the season. But assuming he remains in New Orleans, to what degree that limits Etienne's production remains to be seen. But we can probably assume the bulk of the pass-catching work out of the backfield will remain Kamara's load to carry if he's there. The other knock against Etienne is the Saints' average offensive line, which ranked near the bottom in run-blocking in 2025. These questions are enough to keep Etienne's draft capital (low-end RB2) at a reasonable level, but he could still be a contributing part of your fantasy team.

 Travis Etienne unlikely to play in Week 4
Suffered a hamstring injury in Week 3
By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 28, 11:10 pm
|  | Kellen Moore said there will be “time lost” for Travis Etienne with his hamstring issue. (ESPN.com - Katherine Terrell)
FFToday's Take: Etienne stands as the overall RB24 after three weeks, which is a slight disappointment for those fantasy managers who spent a fourth-round pick on him in drafts this summer. It's not exactly fair to blame him for that, however, as the Saints have curiously used him in a committee despite paying him like a featured back in free agency. Alvin Kamara will likely start in his absence, but it should surprise no one if Kendre Miller ends up being more productive in Etienne's absence.
| Alvin Kamara not expected to play Week 1
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 13, 6:13 am
| | #Saints RB Alvin Kamara, who is questionable with a knee injury because of an MCL sprain, is not expected to play today against the #Lions, sources say. He was a full participant late in the week, but was not quite ready. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Kamara has been battling a knee injury this preseason and was a full participant in practice on Friday but ultimately will sit out Week 1. That will leave the bulk of running back work for Travis Etienne with Kendre Miller filling the backup role.
| Alvin Kamara out the next month with sprained MCL
Saints lose another offensive weapon
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Aug 19, 9:28 am
| | Saints RB Alvin Kamara is expected to be sidelined for at least the next month due to a sprained MCL, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: On the heels of Jordyn Tyson's hamstring injury, the Saints will lose the services of another offensive weapon for the next few weeks. Kamara is set to have a change-of-pace, pass-catching role behind Travis Etienne, who may take on a bigger role during the first couple weeks of the season. Kendre Miller, Devin Neal and Audric Estime and Ty Chandler round out the running back depth chart in New Orleans.
| Alvin Kamara sticking with Saints on restructured deal
31-year-old RB wants to retire as a Saint
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Jul 15, 4:11 pm
| | Alvin Kamara and the Saints are finalizing a new deal. (Nick Underhill on X)
FFToday's Take: Kamara's time in New Orleans seemed in limbo this off-season as the team brought in Travis Etienne to be it's featured back. This will likely be a pay cut for Kamara (31) when the details are announced and he'll likely have a diminished role in 2026. He'll be a better option in PPR leagues and should get plenty of third down work as long as he remains healthy. He finished as the RB35 in PPR leagues last season among all RBs playing in at least eight games.
