New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. exited Week 3 with a hamstring injury after leading the team with 13 carries. Head coach Kellen Moore confirmed that Etienne re-aggravated a prior injury, and his status for Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons is uncertain. If Etienne is unable to play, Alvin Kamara is likely to assume the lead role in the backfield, although he has struggled with efficiency this season. Kendre Miller may also see increased opportunities if Etienne is sidelined, but he is deemed a risky fantasy option.
