No one had worse Week 1 usage... Instead we got less than 60 as blast from the past Kendre Miller somehow forced a committee. It was all the more bizarre since Miller's early-down skill-set wasn't exactly what the doctor ordered for a shootout where the Saints were stuck in comeback game script.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Etienne's bizarre sub-60% snap share in comeback game threatens RB2 value.

Etienne had deeply bizarre Saints debut usage, playing less than 60 percent of the snaps despite Alvin Kamara being ruled out with a knee injury. Kendre Miller somehow forced a committee despite his early-down skill-set not being ideal for a shootout where the Saints were stuck in comeback game script—that's supposed to be Etienne's bread and butter. Hopefully the Saints' coaching staff comes to their senses after watching the tape. If not, Etienne might be more of a dead-zone FLEX option than a legit RB2.
