Travis Etienne has deeply bizarre Saints debut. No one had worse Week 1 usage... Instead we got less than 60 as blast from the past Kendre Miller somehow forced a committee... If not, Etienne might be more of a dead-zone FLEX option than legit RB2.

Negative signalUsage

Etienne's bizarre sub-60% snap share in Saints debut threatens RB2 status.

Despite Alvin Kamara being ruled out with a knee injury, Etienne played less than 60 percent of snaps in his Saints debut, with Kendre Miller forced into a committee role. This was bizarre given Miller's early-down skill-set wasn't suited for the shootout game script where Etienne's pass-catching bread-and-butter should have dominated. If the Saints' coaching staff doesn't correct this after reviewing tape, Etienne could be more of a dead-zone FLEX option than a legitimate RB2.
