    Travis Etienne to be 1st on the depth chart

    He’s set to see a similar workload in 2026 with the Saints... Etienne should see enough volume that it won’t matter with Alvin Kamara already injured to begin the season.

    Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart

    Unless Stevenson falls off in 2026, he should remain the lead back for New England after playing at least 57% of the snaps in nine of his 14 games played in 2025.
