If Carlie Irsay-Gordon is as smart as she is a smoke, she will not allow Jonathan Taylor to play against the Jaguars. And that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm playing against him in several leagues this week.

Etienne is eligible to return from IR after the Saints' bye week following a hamstring injury suffered a month ago. The source identifies him as 'a great buy-low candidate among RBs' because he should reclaim his starting job and the Saints' run game could improve significantly with his return. New Orleans ranks bottom-5 in rushing yards and EPA/rush this season; in Week 7 they rushed 17 times for 18 yards (1.1 YPC). The source notes the Saints have one of the best schedules ROS for fantasy RBs and should also get guard Cesar Ruiz and potentially OT Kelvin Banks back. Additionally, New Orleans ranks 4th in RB target share this season (22.4%), which bodes well for Etienne to see a receiving role even with Kamara still involved. The source concludes: 'I like him as a buy-low target for RB-needy teams with the Saints out of sight and out of mind.'

Etienne is the focal point of the Saints' rushing attack and one of their most explosive playmakers. Currently on injured reserve due to a hamstring strain, he is eligible to return Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. His return is expected to add explosiveness and home-run play ability to a backfield that desperately needs both; the Saints managed only 18 total rushing yards against Pittsburgh without him, highlighting his absence's impact on the offense.

Etienne is currently on injured reserve due to a hamstring strain and is eligible to return Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. His absence has been extremely noticeable in the Saints' rushing attack, which managed only 18 total rushing yards against Pittsburgh. The source notes his return will add explosiveness and home-run play ability to a backfield that desperately needs both, though it cautions that one player alone may not completely transform an offense with broader systemic problems including offensive line struggles.

Travis Etienne's presence limits Alvin Kamara's usage; in the three games without Etienne, Kamara has had two pretty good performances (23 points vs. Atlanta, 15 points vs. Giants), but when Etienne plays, the usage is so bad. The source expects Travis Etienne to return after the Saints' week eight bye, which should improve the Jacksonville Jaguars' run game. Etienne's return is positioned as a positive development for the backfield's overall performance.
