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.
Non-contact lower-body injuries in camp are an immediate red flag, putting Breece Hall on the injury radar after a season marked by an elite 18.2-percent Target Share and 4.96 Yards Created Per Touch. While he remains an explosive asset with a 98th-percentile 40-Yard Dash and proven pass-catching volume, practice-field soft-tissue or ligament scares introduce sudden volatility to his top-tier dynasty valuation.
Monitor team updates closely before adjusting exposure, but be prepared to elevate contingency options in this backfield. Braelon Allen is Hall’s immediate back-up, and his ADP is set to rise dramatically coming off a highly efficient preseason Week 1 performance.
Behind workhorse Breece Hall, the New York will rotate Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen with Davis the new favorite for breather back snaps. Beyond Rosenblatt’s informed speculation, Davis holds the efficiency edge, posting 5.5 Yards Per Carry and 6.6 Yards Per Touch alongside a 75.0-percent Catch Rate, while Allen managed 3.6 YPC before a knee injury wiped out most of his 2025 season.
Training camp snaps and preseason participation will provide backfield clarity. Identifying the immediate back-up RB offers real contingent value in deeper fantasy football leagues, particularly. Davis is the new Jets running back to roster in all formats.
