Breece

Hall

Hall would have had a chance at his first 1,000-yard rushing season had he not missed Week 14’s game against the Dolphins. Still, the third-year back turned out 1,384 yards from scrimmage while averaging over five yards per touch for the second straight season. Hall continued to operate as the Jets’ bell cow back in 2024. He only surpassed 100 rushing yards once on the season, but had four games in which he totaled 100-plus yards from scrimmage while finding the end zone seven times. Rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis didn’t show anything that would suggest they’ll be taking touches from Hall next season, which will put him on the fantasy radar as a high-end RB1, yet again.

Hall largely looked fine, ripping off a 17-yard run at one point, but the Jets remained committed to sharing his workload with Braelon Allen. Hall had 31 snaps to Allen’s 19. He’ll look to finish up a largely disappointing season against the Dolphins in Week 18. Hall will be a borderline RB2 option if called upon.

Hall was off the injury report this week, but he still does not look healthy. He doesn’t seem to have the game-breaking ability he showcased before hurting his knee a few weeks back. Hall had a long run of just seven yards on the day, but he was impactful in the receiving game with Aaron Rodgers working the short and intermediate areas of the field on Sunday. Hall took all but five of the Jets’ rushes on the day, so he could be a low-end RB2 option next week against a Bills defense that can be beat on the ground.

Allen was limited for the first two practices of the week because of the back injury before being upgraded to a full session on Friday. He was still listed as questionable on the final injury report, though the rookie never appeared to be at risk of missing Week 16. Breece Hall was off the injury report entirely this week, suggesting he’s as healthy as he has been since tweaking his knee a month ago. With Isaiah Davis also in the mix for touches, only Hall is worth starting in the fantasy semifinals.

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall is “rolling for Week 16. Hall is off the injury report entirely for the first time in a few weeks, indicating that he is in a better spot health-wise than he was heading into Week 15’s game against the Jags. Hall only ran nine times for 30 yards in that game while catching two passes. His role could grow in Week 16, but fantasy managers should still treat him as an RB2 with the expectation that Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis each get a few touches.

It was a walk through practice session for the Jets but Hall was estimated as a DNP. He played through a lingering knee issue in Week 15 against the Jaguars — going for 51 yards on 11 touches — after missing Week 14’s loss to Miami. If Hall can log a limited practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be ready to go for this week’s game against the Rams. His workload should continue to be smaller than usual while he battles through the knee injury.

Playing through a knee injury, Hall ended up out-touching Isaiah Davis 11-6. Braelon Allen tweaked his back and took only two handles. The workload was tied for Hall’s smallest of the season, though he at least had the courtesy to score the game-winning, one-yard touchdown after Davante Adams took Gang Green to the one. He did fail to out-rush Aaron Rodgers, however. All sorts of banged up with lots of moving parts in the Jets’ backfield, Hall probably belongs outside the top 24 for Week 16 against the Rams.

Hall was upgraded to a full practice on Friday, putting him on the right side of questionable heading into the weekend. He’s officially back after missing just one game with the knee issue. The Jets could limit his reps to prevent the injury from getting worse, but he still projects to lead the team in carries and backfield targets. Fantasy managers can treat him as an RB1 versus the Jags. Inactive for the Jets are CB D.J. Reed, WR Malachi Corley, S Jaylin Simpson, CB Brandin Echols, OL Xavier Newman, TE Tyler Conklin, and DL Braiden McGregor.

Rapoport initially qualified his report on Hall’s Week 15 availability, saying “it seems like we are likely to see him” before ultimately declaring that the team does, indeed, expect Hall to play. Whether Hall can play effectively and remain setback-free is a concern but his injured knee has responded positively to his Friday practice participation thus far. He would be a volatile RB1 if active.

This is quite the turn of events for Hall, who did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and was reportedly “struggling a bit” with his injury as recently as Wednesday. The Jets’ RB1 will be listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but Ulbrich appears optimistic about Hall’s chances to suit up on Sunday. We’ll believe it when we see it, but for now, fantasy managers who were planning to stream Braelon Allen or Isaiah Davis will want to have backup plans in place in the event Hall is able to go.
