Hot take: Travis Etienne finishes as a top 5 RB if he’s used the right way

If Etienne is actually stepping into a Saints-style role, I think people are way too low on his ceiling.

Look at what he did in 2023 when he was used as more than just a grinder — over 1,000 rushing yards, 58 catches for nearly 500 receiving yards, 12 total TDs, and around 1,500 scrimmage yards. That’s already borderline elite production, and it didn’t even feel like he was consistently featured in the passing game all season.

That’s why this setup is interesting. The Saints have historically gotten the most out of backs who can operate in both phases, and we’ve seen what that looks like when it clicks. If Etienne is getting real receiving work on top of his rushing volume, you’re suddenly looking at a profile that can easily land in that 1,000 rushing, 50+ catch, double-digit TD range again—except this time with a higher weekly ceiling.

If the offense has any sort of rhythm and they actually lean into using him in space instead of just running him into the ground, I don’t see why he can’t push into that top 5 tier.

Feels like people are not talking enough about him.

Am I too high on this or are people sleeping on Etienne in that kind of role?

Tomorrow Startup Dynasty Advice 1.01.

Hey fellas,

I have the 1.01 in a 12-man, SF, TEP, 3RR, rookies included startup draft. The way the draft order was done by derby, everyone avoided the 1.01. I understand that its 3RR, but do you think some people may have second thoughts on their draft picks? If I put this on the trade block, what could I reasonably expect when trading down?

If I do stick with the 1.01, whats the draft strategy then => 1.01 Allen, 2.12 WR, 3.12 WR, 4.01 WR ?

Or do I 1.01 Allen, 2.12 QB, 3.12 WR, 4.01 RB, Do I consider going TE at the 4.01?

The draft is tomorrow and its also my first time playing Dynasty. I appreciate any feedback.

What are your thoughts on trading CeeDee Lamb for the 1.01 (Love)? I’m pretty wide receiver, heavy, and would like to get my hands on a very young impact running back. Who’s gonna catch a ton of passes. Even after trading lamb I’d still have a JSN, Brian Thomas, Garrett, Wilson, waddle, Godwin.

I feel like love has easily five top 12 years ahead of him. In five years lamb will be 32. He also has Pickens in Dallas to take away his upside. Not to mention Dak is aging. I think the days of expecting lamb to be a top. Five receiver are over.

Concern about kimani Vidal for Omarion Hampton?

Towards the end of the season it was about 50/50 usage I’m considering trading Hampton in dynasty for a good package of course. I’m conflicted because with Mike McDaniel and Joe alt, slater coming back should be a big boost. Do you think Vidal who’s 24 is someone to worry about with Omarion Hampton?

Kyle pitts for Pacheco and pick 1.09 in a 10 man dynasty

My TE room is George kittle and dalton Kincaid so I could def use a tight end. My RB room is judkins, Javonte, Hampton, jeanty. Thinking about mane selling high on Javonte and getting more the Pitts but I do think his RB1 success will continue but I worry about maybe his knee issues will come up again. Thoughts?

Do You Think It's A Legitimate Strategy To Bench Your Starters If There Isn't A Rule Against It?

Do You Think It's A Legitimate Strategy To Bench Your Starters If There Isn't A Rule Against It?

Assume it's a somewhat competitive league, with some people checking their teams every day and throughout the day, and others checking just once a week. Annual dues are only like $150, but there aren't rules against tanking, no rules requiring you to start a complete lineup, the website allows you to start injured players (but not a vacancy), and the league members have never talked about any of these issues before. Yet, the commissioners have apparently discussed between themselves the tiebreaker for the rookie draft, and considered changing it from the current standard, which is total points scored by the team, to a Max Points standard.

Would you guys trade Jeanty and 1.04 for Nabers, Bucky and the 1.10. 1/2 PPR Non Sflx

What do you guys think? I just think you need to have an elite RB1 to compete unless you have a god squad outside of that.

Hey guys. Got this trade sent to me. Need opinions

This is an 8 team league, 2QB 1SF so 3 possible QBs in play at 1 time. I’m coming of a championship. Thinking of moving

For

Aaron jones, woody marks, Quentin Johnston.

My team:

Qb: tlaw, nix, Milton, geno, Daniel jones, minshew, fields

Rb: Irving, jeanty, Gibbs, Harvey, Hubbard

Wr:Evans,pierce, nacua, meyers, Wandale,mcconkey, shaheed, Tre Tucker, cooper kupp, Shakir, mims

I have the 1.08 because of the title so I’m thinking a wr there and Johnston becomes the handcuff if mcconkey gets hurt.
