Breece Hall

The New York Jets backfield is shaping up to be a fantasy goldmine in 2025. Breece Hall is going near the 4-5 turn in drafts while 2nd year back Braelon Allen is being drafted at the 11-12 turn. 

Drafters can benefit from both backs being a part of their plans, but Allen has hidden value that doesn’t appear to the naked eye. Should Breece Hall get traded between now and the 2025 NFL trade deadline, Allen would be a top-12 weekly running back.

Allen gets comparisons to Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. The archetype, skillset, and focus on the 1-2 punch rung game offensive philosophy make for an apt comparison. With that thought in mind, Allen goes 4 rounds cheaper than David Montgomery (round 7 ADP).  Keep an eye on the Jets backfield as Allen will have weekly value and would take off in a big way to be a league winner should Hall either miss time or get traded to another team.

Breece Hall dynasty managers are going to want to close their eyes and ears at the news that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is in favor of utilizing a running back by committee approach in 2025. This is not welcome news to those who want Breece Hall to be a bellcow running back. 

Glenn spoke to Breece Hall being in a good place while saying he would utilize both Braelon Allen and the electric Isaiah Davis in tandem with Hall. This immediately triggers speculation that the Jets could be a candidate to trade Breece Hall on draft night. Jets reporter Rich Cimini has hinted at the possibility of the Jets trading Breece Hall away should Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty be available at pick 7.

In 2024, Breece Hall was 4th in running back receiving yards (483) and receptions (57) while 18th in carries at 209. Fantasy gamers are hoping Hall can return to his 2023 form where his 17.1 fantasy points per game ranked 6th at the position. Hall is currently going as RB-12 on Underdog in round 3. Utilize this hair cut in price to acquire Breece Hall in dynasty and click on him at ADP in best ball drafts. A trade will boost his draft stock and his current ADP still provides value despite head coach Aaron Glenn’s sentiments on a committee backfield.

Breece Hall’s fantasy outlook for 2025 has become more uncertain following recent comments from Jets’ offensive coordinator Glenn, who noted that the team will utilize three running backs in their offensive scheme. Hall, who was expected to be the focal point of the Jets’ backfield, faces increased competition with the emergence of Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. While Hall showed promise in his recovery from an ACL injury and had a strong rookie season, his 2024 campaign was disappointing. He finished with a career-low 4.2 yards per carry, 876 rushing yards, and 5 touchdowns, which raised concerns about his efficiency. His receiving work also declined, and with the Jets’ offensive struggles, Hall’s opportunities were limited. To complicate matters, the addition of Justin Fields could further impact Hall’s role, especially in the passing game, as Fields’ skill set could lead to a greater focus on the quarterback’s mobility rather than utilizing Hall in the air.

Beyond the immediate 2025 concerns, Hall’s future with the Jets remains unclear, as the team has shown little interest in extending his contract beyond 2025. The addition of younger backs like Allen and Davis, combined with a new offensive approach, makes Hall’s role less certain moving forward. Additionally, the Jets’ offense has been less productive, averaging only 21 rushing attempts per game, which has limited Hall’s workload. With competition in the backfield and the offense still working to find consistency, Hall’s fantasy value for 2025 is at risk. Unless Hall significantly improves his performance and the Jets’ offense becomes more productive, his role could shrink even further, making his RB6 ADP seem increasingly difficult to justify.

The New York Jets do not have their starting quarterback yet for the 2025 season. Leading the Jets in average draft position on Underdog are both Breece Hall as RB-11 and Garrett Wilson as WR-15 early in round 3.

A large part of the appeal in drafting Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson is that they were first round draft picks last year. The talent remains the same and the situation is set up for improvement from having Aaron Rodgers as the Jets starting quarterback last season. 

Breece Hall was 4th in receptions with 57 and 4th in receiving yards with 483 while his rushing yards were lagging behind to the tune of 876, No.22 at his position. Garrett Wilson sounds like he is amenable to rescinding his trade request and was surprisingly WR-10 in fantasy football in 2024. Take advantage of the ADP discount before their stock rises after the NFL Draft.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall will miss Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins due to a knee injury. Hall, who suffered a hyperextension and MCL issue in his surgically repaired left knee during Week 11 against Indianapolis, has been dealing with the injury since the Jets’ bye week. While Hall played in last week’s game against the Seahawks despite being limited in practice, the team has decided to hold him out for the Dolphins matchup to ensure his long-term recovery.

With Hall sidelined, rookie Braelon Allen is expected to take over as the starting running back. Allen, a promising prospect, will lead the backfield in Hall’s absence. Additionally, fellow rookies Isaiah Davis and Kene Nwangwu are poised to see increased roles. Davis, who scored his first NFL touchdown in the Jets’ win over Seattle, could see more touches.

Hall’s absence is a significant blow to the Jets’ offense, but the team will rely on its depth to carry the load as they look to stay in the playoff hunt.
