Who Should I Start? Kennedy Brooks or Snoop Conner

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kennedy Brooks took seven carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for a 4-yard gain during the team's 18-18 preseason tie with the Cleveland Browns. Brooks did not see the field until the second half but ended up leading the team in total carries by the end of the night. The 24-year-old floated around the Eagles practice squad last season but has little to no chance of making the final 53-man roster, especially after a less than stellar showing against the Cleveland third-string defense. With the Eagles running back room packed by the likes of Rashaad Penny, D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell, Trey Sermon, and Boston Scott, Brooks will be lucky to land on the Philadelphia practice squad by the time the regular season kicks off. He should see some run during the Eagles' final preseason game next Thursday.

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.
