Who Should I Start? Snoop Conner or Tank Bigsby

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby is a flex option at best in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Bigsby was demoted to a backup role behind Travis Etienne Jr. in Week 15, making it hard to trust him in fantasy going forward. The Raiders do serve as a good matchup and potentially an unusually positive game script for the Jaguars, meaning both Bigsby and Etienne Jr. could get plenty of carries to succeed in fantasy. However, Mac Jones has been volatile at quarterback since replacing injured starter Trevor Lawrence, making it hard to trust the Jaguars offense as a whole. Given Bigsby can't be counted on for consistent volume, he is nothing more than a risky flex play despite a good matchup with the Raiders in Week 16.
