Who Should I Start? Pierre Strong Jr. or Terrell Jennings

Tuesday, August 26, 12:23 PM

The Cleveland Browns are expected to release running back Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion), sources tell Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Before being released, Strong suffered a concussion in the team's preseason finale on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old will hit the open market looking for a new team to latch on with before the start of the regular season in two weeks. Strong was originally a fourth-round draft pick (127th overall) by the New England Patriots in the 2022 NFL draft out of South Dakota State. He spent just his rookie year in New England before playing with Cleveland the last two years. In his three years in the league, Strong has averaged a healthy 5.0 yards per carry while rushing for 499 yards and two touchdowns on 99 rushing attempts over 46 games (one start). He's well off the fantasy radar for now.

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings rushed for 38 yards on six carries during Thursday's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. He also contributed in the passing game, hauling in both of his targets for a total of 11 yards. Jennings is a 23-year-old undrafted rookie out of Florida A&M. Despite his strong pro debut on Thursday, he faces an uphill battle to make the roster behind the likes of Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, Kevin Harris, and JaMycal Hasty. He can be avoided in all fantasy formats.
