Travis Etienne fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

Etienne has cleared 1,399 total yards in 3-of-4 NFL seasons, and his lone miss was when unhealthy with coach Doug Pederson. Quietly, this is Etienne's best environment he's ever been in for fantasy points. Coach Kellen Moore has been functional at every stop, including in his head coaching debut last year with emerging QB Tyler Shough. The Saints were 1st in neutral pace per UnderdogRankings.com's advanced stats page, but they couldn't create explosives. If Etienne brings that to the table, then the Saints could clear their projected No. 24 scoring offense. The Saints OL features promising 1st-round talents at both OT spots, two returning players on the interior, and then a new floor-raising veteran at LG. It should be an above-average unit for Etienne to run behind. Etienne also faces very little competition in the backfield if we assume Alvin Kamara is going to retire or be released. It's only 2025 6th-rounder Devin Neal, Kendre Miller, Ty Chandler, and Audric Estime behind him. Don't be surprised if Etienne matches or even beats his RB11 on RB14 usage per-game finishes from last season. I'm buying over on 874.5 rushing yards in the Underdog lobby.
