ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Garrett Wilson has been ruled out for Sunday’s Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a concussion.
Despite a difficult road matchup, it’s wheels up for Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr., who have traded off explosive performances in recent weeks. With Wilson sidelined, both should see expanded opportunities and offer intriguing fantasy upside. Tight ends Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq could also see increased involvement, while Breece Hall‘s return gives the Jets another weapon to lean on. Mitchell and Cooper remain intriguing flex options, though the Chiefs’ defense presents a challenging matchup.

This comes on the heels of head coach Aaron Glenn commenting, “we’re in the business of keeping good players” when asked if the Jets would consider trading Breece Hall before the deadline. Glenn also noted that Hall remains central to the game plan upon returning from his quad injury. Meanwhile, Braelon Allen continues dominating as a tackle-breaking machine who ranks third among running backs in rushing success rate and eighth in yards after contact per rush.
This backfield tandem gives New York a powerful one-two punch as Allen will continue to command high-value touches. Allen is ranked RB30 in PlayerProfiler’s rest-of-season rankings and will continue to be a FLEX option moving forward. No longer a projected to receive workhorse touches, Hall will be a low-end fantasy RB2 upon his return.
With Breece Hall slated to miss week 5, Braelon Allen is expected to carry the load for the New York Jets this week. Last week, Allen played 93% of the snaps and ran 77% of the routes in the absence of Hall.
The Jets ran only 32 offensive plays in this game resulting in 8.7 ppr points from Allen. They’re favored by 2.5 this week against the Cleveland Browns making him a volume based start in a potential leading game script.
Breece Hall will miss the Jets’ Week 4 contest vs. the Bears after suffering a thigh injury late in Week 3’s game against the Lions. Hall should be considered week-to-week as he was unable to get any practices in this week.
Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will ostensibly share the backfield while Breece Hall is out, with Allen expected to have the majority of the work. It’s unlikely this will lead to more work for Geno Smith, as Omar Cooper remains on IR, Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor are also out, and Kenyon Sadiq is questionable for Sunday.
Breece Hall suffered a thigh injury in the fourth quarter against the Lions today after being dragged down near the goal line. Hall left the game, and was ruled out almost immediately, which is never a good sign.
For now, it’s Braelon Allen stepping in as the lead back, with Isaiah Davis backing him up. Fantasy football managers will need to keep a close eye on his status heading into the week, especially with further evaluations pending.
Breece Hall is trending toward playing this week after Aaron Glenn said the Jets running back will practice today. The 5-11, 217-pound former Iowa State standout posted 243 carries for 1,065 yards at 4.4 yards per attempt with four rushing scores last year, plus 36 receptions for 350 yards.
A groin issue kept him limited in camp, but Glenn’s update points to his regular role in Week 1 against Tennessee. Hall may ease back in, but he has RB1 upside right away in fantasy football and is currently ranked as PlayerProfiler’s RB17 in redraft leagues and RB15 in dynasty.
