From the article

He handled a healthy 17% target share but only 39% of the designed runs. He totaled 78 yards on his 16 touches. Etienne's usage did increase as the game went on, which is a good sign, but it's now fair to wonder how involved Alvin Kamara will be when he returns (perhaps this week). Etienne remains a fringe RB2, but he'll need more work in the running game if he's going to provide consistent fantasy value.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Etienne's 17% target share promising, but needs more rushing work for RB2 consistency.

Etienne totaled 18 opportunities (16 touches, 17% target share) in Week 1 overtime game against New Orleans, but only handled 39% of designed runs; he gained 78 yards on 16 touches. Usage increased as game progressed, a positive sign, but his fantasy value remains fringe RB2 dependent on increased running game involvement, especially with Alvin Kamara's potential return this week.
