Jordyn Tyson, Jordyn Tyson Works With Saints Starters in Pregame Warmups
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson worked with the starters in pregame warmups for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers, according to Nick Underhill. Bryce Lance started against the Cleveland Browns last week and played 38 offensive snaps. Tyson played 18 and finished second on the team with five targets, behind Chris Olave's 12. He caught four passes for 30 yards in his NFL debut after missing the first seven games with a hamstring injury. Tyson was off the Week 10 injury report, and head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that he planned to give the rookie more snaps against Carolina. New Orleans has used three-receiver sets on 69.1% of its offensive snaps this season, giving Tyson room to play alongside Olave and Devaughn Vele. Vele drew four targets on 70 snaps against Cleveland. Tyson's work underneath gives him a case as a flex in deeper PPR leagues. Tyler Shough targeted him three times on the fourth-quarter drive that put New Orleans ahead 9-6, including a five-yard catch that converted third-and-three.

Travis Etienne Jr., Travis Etienne Jr. Active for Week 10 Against Carolina
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers, according to Nick Underhill. Etienne returns to a backfield that leaned on Audric Estim for 15 carries, 72 yards and a touchdown against Cleveland last week. The Saints activated Etienne from injured reserve Saturday after he missed five games. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday, practiced in full Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable. His 11 catches for 51 yards in three starts give him a case as a PPR flex in his first game back.

Audric Estimé, Audric Estime's Waiver Case Hinges on Early Downs
New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime handled seven carries in each half of his first start for the team this season. He added a nine-yard run in overtime and finished with 72 yards and a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns. Estime played 35 offensive snaps to Alvin Kamara's 37 and drew one target to Kamara's four. Kamara missed Wednesday for rest and his back injury, practiced in full on Thursday and Friday, and carries no game designation. Tom Pelissero reported Saturday that New Orleans plans to activate Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's home game against the Carolina Panthers. Etienne was listed as questionable after practicing fully on Friday following two limited sessions. At 43% rostered on Yahoo, Estime is a bench add in 12-team half-PPR leagues. Carolina gives up 133.4 rushing yards per game, the fifth-most in the league, and Estime has flex appeal if Etienne sits. Etienne had 30 carries and 11 catches in three September games. In his last outing, he took 13 carries to Kamara's nine against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Travis Etienne Jr., Travis Etienne Jr. Activated From Injured Reserve, Expected to Play Sunday
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers, according to Tom Pelissero of the Ringer. Etienne is listed as questionable, but his activation indicates that he should play on Sunday as he returns to action following a six-week absence. The 27-year-old was off to a modest start on offense before injuring his hamstring in Week 3. Across parts of three games, he totaled a modest 30 carries and 128 rushing yards. He was relatively more involved in the passing game, where he totaled 11 catches and 51 receiving yards. Etienne spent the start of the year sharing volume with Kendre Miller and Alvin Kamara, which was surprising given that he signed a $52 million contract in the offseason. Miller has since been released, so Etienne's main competition is now just Kamara, who has been highly inefficient with just 3.3 yards per carry and a modest 6.7 carries per game. Although the Saints surely won't phase out Kamara, we do expect Etienne to be the undisputed lead back upon his return. He should rank as a solid RB2 this week against a Panthers defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2026.

Travis Etienne Jr., Travis Etienne Jr. Has an Appealing Matchup if Active in Week 10
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers. The 27-year-old has been on Injured Reserve since Week 3 with a hamstring injury, but he was able to practice this week and could be in line to make his return on Sunday. The Saints could look to ease Etienne Jr. back into the lineup by splitting his workload with fellow running backs Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime. Still, Etienne Jr. profiles as the highest upside for New Orleans, if active. The Panthers have also struggled to defend the run so far this season, allowing the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL (13) through nine weeks. If Etienne Jr. plays in Week 10, he profiles as a low-end RB2 option for fantasy managers.
