Kamara's return caps Etienne's ceiling; available mid-round four but pass-game and goal-line upside capped.
Travis EtienneRBNO
Alvin Kamara's return to the Saints creates ceiling risk for Etienne. Kamara historically superior at goal line and in pass game; Silva backed away from drafting Etienne after Kamara's return was confirmed. Levitan holds steady on Etienne's median case but acknowledges ceiling is worse due to Kamara's pass-catching and goal-line role. Etienne signed four years, $48M ($28M guaranteed), but Kamara was bad last year (3.6 YPC, 5.6 YPR) and Saints will likely give him legacy touches. Etienne now available mid-round four in best ball, a discount.
