Video: Week 3 Fantasy Football RB Ranks and Tiers: Chuba Hubbard RB1 szn is upon us
RB22 Travis Etchen... Do we think the Saints gave Travis Etchen $48 million to not be their clear lead running back? Or did we get some weird usage in weeks one and two? If you can get someone to treat Etchen as RB3 types, sign me the hell up for that.

Buy-low RB22 despite early usage concerns; $48M investment suggests role will increase

Buy-low candidate despite early-season usage concerns. Saints invested $48 million in Etienne as their clear lead running back; early weeks 1-2 usage was likely a ramp-up period rather than a sign of role diminishment. Ranked RB22 in Week 3 tiers. Etienne is being treated as an RB3 in trade markets despite being a lead-back investment, making him a buy-low target before the fantasy community catches up to the inevitable usage increase. Ian Hartitz questions whether the Saints gave Etienne $48 million to not be their clear lead back, arguing the weird early-season usage pattern will normalize.
