Breece Hall Fantasy Football News, Rankings, Projections | New York Jets

The Jets’ ground game was limited, with Breece Hall leading the rushing efforts, carrying the ball nine times for 23 yards (2.6 YPC). Braelon Allen added 13 yards on five carries, also averaging 2.6 yards per carry.
WOOF. As chairman of the Breece Hall RB1 board, I can’t help but feel terrible about Hall’s recent performances. Two of his worst games in back-to-back weeks. At least this week, Allen wasn’t much better as the entire Jets offense couldn’t do much of anything on the ground.
Both Allen and Breece Hall also made contributions in the receiving game, but with minimal yardage. Hall commanded four targets catching three balls for 14 yards to Allen’s two.
The snaps were also still heavily in favor of Hall (74%) to Allen’s 26% with Hall dominating the routes out of the backfield.
I’m in the camp where Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett has numbered days left in New York. When teams struggle somebody has to be the scapegoat, and Hackett looks to be that guy. Why is this a potential good thing as to not lose all faith in Hall rest of season?
Because I’d imagine they would promote quarterbacks coach & passing game coordinator Todd Downing as the new OC. He has been with the Jets since last season and was the former OC in Tennessee from 2021-2022. Dude knows how to build an offense around the running game, which has been severely lacking in the Jets offense.
Hall ranks fourth worst in success rate this season. I wish this was an outlier, but Hall’s boom-or-bust rushing style leads to poor rushing success rates, especially when he’s NOT ripping off the big plays that were are so accustomed to seeing him create.
If you’d rather stay away until Hackett gets canned, be my guest. But if you haven’t taken my advice and already acquired Hall (apologies in advance), I still think he’s a buy low. The Jets offensive’s woes have been amplified by the fact that they have faced the No. 1 and No. 2 defenses respectively in EPA/play allowed the last two weeks.
Hall is still inside the top 12 in touches at the position. Before the last two weeks, Hall was RB6 overall averaging nearly 18 points per game. Last year through five games, Hall was RB18 averaging 10.9 points per game. He’s ahead of where he was last season still.
He turned in on in the second half of 2023, and still think that is firmly in Hall’s range of outcomes. Only Christian McCaffrey and Kyren Williams were superior to Hall from Week 6 onward during the 2023 season.
I am trying to not let my offseason excitement about Hall cloud my judgement. But I’m still just a strong believer in the talent, and that there’s a path where this Jets offense can turn things around. The offensive environment is hurting Hall more than anything, so I am trying to keep that in mind before completely burying the player. Get rid of Hackett, trade for Adams and soon we are cooking with gas.
