New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. is working back from a hamstring issue. He was not heavily involved in the Saints offense in his first few appearances. The update examines his Week 5 availability and what it means for fantasy rosters.

Expanded Detail

Travis Etienne Jr. is a New Orleans Saints running back who has been dealing with a hamstring concern. His early appearances in the Saints offense did not feature a heavy workload. The key question for Week 5 is whether he will be available and how much he might be used.
