Coach Moore is out here playing mind games, refusing to give us a straight answer while pretending a 30-year-old Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne Jr. is some kind of “great situation” for everyone and no one. Bottom line: Kamara is a proven producer, who might be running on fumes, but if he doesn’t retire, he’s going to be a massive thorn in the side of every Etienne dynasty manager by potentially vacuuming up high-value targets.

Fantasy gamers are drafting Etienne at a premium price expecting a 300-touch bellcow role, but Moore’s evasive rhetoric is a neon sign warning that the full-scale workhorse takeover hasn’t actually been ratified yet. As long as Kamara is in the building, Etienne is a high-priced bet on a bad team’s backfield that could devolve into a specialist committee.
