Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne Jr. will share the Saints backfield in 2025, with New Orleans expressing confidence both can thrive. Kamara enters a contract year while Etienne arrives after back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing campaigns in Jacksonville. The team believes their system can support two high-volume backs, though fantasy managers should expect diminished per-game ceilings for both.

Both backs become riskier investments at current ADPs. In best ball and dynasty, treat each as low-end RB2s rather than the RB1 upside they carried as lead backs—neither projects for the 250+ touch workloads that drive elite fantasy seasons.
