Fantasy Snapshot
PFM Fantasy Outlook
Etienne changed teams at exactly the right time for fantasy managers to reconsider him. He finished 2025 with 1,107 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 260 carries, then added 36 catches for 292 yards and six receiving scores. Those six receiving touchdowns were second among NFL running backs and pushed him to 13 total scores.
PFM ranks Etienne RB15 and No. 37 overall after his move from Jacksonville to New Orleans. The new offense creates some uncertainty around touch distribution, but the production profile is not speculative. Etienne has topped 500 rushing yards and 250 receiving yards in every season he has played since 2022, and last year showed he can still handle a large workload. RB15 is a bet that the Saints give him enough early-down and passing-game work to keep that two-way value alive.
