Who Should I Start? Jaret Patterson or Xazavian Valladay

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.

New Orleans Saints running back Xazavian Valladay was released by the organization on Friday. This isn't a shocking move given the Saints recently signed running back Cam Akers. The Saints running back room was getting a little crowded, so they've decided to move on from Valladay. The 26-year-old hasn't done much during his pro career. He appeared in only one game on special teams with the New York Jets in 2023. He'll look to land with another organization as depth ahead of the start of the season.
