Who Should I Start? Qadree Ollison or J.J. Taylor

Saturday, September 2, 9:52 PM

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.

New England Patriots running back J.J. Taylor had one carry for three yards and one catch for 10 yards in Friday's 23-7 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. He briefly appeared in Friday's game while Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris handled most of the touches. The 25-year-old is competing with Harris, Strong, and Ty Montgomery for a spot on the Patriots running back depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott. He had 10 carries for nine yards and caught his only target for eight yards in his only game for the Patriots in 2022. Taylor is fighting for a spot on New England's 53-man roster but is far from being fantasy-relevant in 2023.
