Should You Start or Roster Pierre Strong?
Strong remains a low-snap change-of-pace flier whose most recent tape, 2024 in Cleveland, shows the ceiling: 26 carries for 108 yards at 4.15 per tote, plus 14 catches on 22 targets for 104 yards across 13 games, totaling a meager 21.2 fantasy points and an RB84 rank on a 19.2 percent snap share. His 2023 line was busier but not better, 63 carries for 291 yards and a touchdown at RB61, with a minus-0.171 EPA per play that underscores limited efficiency.
Now in Green Bay, he sits fourth on the depth chart behind workhorse Josh Jacobs, Chris Brooks, and MarShawn Lloyd, leaving no standalone path to touches. His receiving chops (0.75 yards per route run, 123 receiving YAC in 2024) give him a sliver of upside only if injuries cascade ahead of him. For 2026 redraft he is a waiver-wire handcuff at best, not a draftable asset.
