Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve and will be out for at least four weeks.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints have decided to place Etienne on injured reserve, which means that he is going to be sidelined for at least the next four weeks. He may be out longer than that as well, but the team has yet to place a concrete timetable on his recovery. Look for Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller to both shoulder a much bigger workload in this backfield for the foreseeable future as a result of his absence.
Saints coach Kellen Moore said Travis Etienne Jr. “will miss time."
Fantasy Impact
Etienne does not hold a clear timetable to return. Alvin Kamara should take on a bigger role in the Saints backfield with Kendre Miller also taking on a bigger role behind him.
Travis Etienne Jr. exited Sunday’s contest between the New Orleans Saints against the Las Vegas Raiders according to Ross Jackson.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne Jr. headed to the locker room for further evaluation, rushing 13 times for 57 yards while also hauling in both of his targets for 13 yards prior to exiting. Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller will take over backfield duties in the running back’s absence.
Travis Etienne Jr. has been cleared for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne has been dealing with a hamstring injury this week. He'll be a risky RB2 play for fantasy managers.

Fantasy Impact
Etienne was a limited participant for a second-straight practice on Thursday. He's still being affected by his hamstring injury, and it remains to be seen if it will affect his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders or not. If it does, expect more work for Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller (illness) in that matchup.
