Who Should I Start? Benny Snell Jr. or Qadree Ollison

Tuesday, August 29, 6:48 PM

Detroit Lions running back Benny Snell was released by the team as they pared their roster down to 53 men on Tuesday. The former Kentucky Wildcat spent the last four seasons with the Steelers, where he compiled 982 rushing yards on 275 carries (3.6 YPC) and seven touchdowns, mostly in a backup role. He'll try to latch on with another team or be signed to Detroit's practice squad ahead of the regular season. The Lions will roll with David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, and fullback Jason Cabinda heading into the season-opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, September 7.

Free-agent running back Qadree Ollison is joining the Steelers' practice squad. The 26-year-old has appeared in 19 games throughout his career. However, after amassing four touchdowns as a rookie, he hasn't been nearly as productive ever since. Ollison, who was recently cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, poses no threat to earn significant playing time this season, meaning fantasy managers should look past him heading into the 2023-24 campaign. But at the very least, he could get on the field during the regular season if Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, or Anthony McFarland Jr. goes down with an injury.
