Who Should I Start? Jaret Patterson or Snoop Conner

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed free agent running back Jaret Patterson to their practice squad. He had been released from the 53-man roster earlier in the week but is now back in the building. The 24-year-old registered 339 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie in 2021, but his production has scaled back since then and he didn't even register a touch last year. He's merely a depth option behind the four running backs on the Chargers' active roster and therefore isn't expected to see the field much in 2024.

The Jacksonville Jaguars waived last year's fifth-round pick, running back Snoop Conner, on Tuesday in order to trim their roster down to 53 players. Jacksonville will open up the 2023 regular season with Travis Etienne Jr. atop their RB depth chart, followed by impressive rookie Tank Bigsby, JaMycal Hasty and D'Ernest Johnson. In his first NFL season in 2022, Conner carried the ball just 12 times for 42 yards and one touchdown in eight games (zero starts) for the Jaguars. If the 23-year-old isn't scooped up off waivers by another organization, there's a good chance he'll return to the team's practice squad to open up the year.
