Who Should I Start? Snoop Conner or Isaiah Likely

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.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely secured his first-ever postseason touchdown in the Divisional Round, finishing with two catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-10 victory over the Texans. With Mark Andrews (ankle) still sidelined, Likely took on the role of the team's primary tight end and continued to make significant plays in his absence. Andrews returned to practice this week, increasing the likelihood of his return for the AFC Championship game next week. The Ravens will host either the Bills or Chiefs, both ranking in the top 10 in DVOA against the pass. These teams have effectively defended tight ends throughout the season, and Likely's value would diminish in any format if Andrews makes his return.
