Braelon Allen Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Hall was the clear winner in the Jets’ backfield despite offseason buzz for Braelon Allen. Hall played 37 snaps to Allen’s 20, giving him 57.8% of the workload. He also ran eight routes to Allen’s three. Hall rushed 19 times for 107 yards and caught two of four targets for 38 yards.

Jets G Alijah Vera-Tucker will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn tricep, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's a big loss for a Jets team that wants to lean on the run this year. Vera-Tucker ranked 12th among 66 qualifying Gs in both Pro Football Focus run- and pass-blocking grades. last season. We'll see how New York reshuffles the offensive line, with veterans Joe Tippmann, Josh Myers, and Chuks Okorafor candidates to replace Vera-Tucker. But this is a concern for QB Justin Fields, WR Garrett Wilson, and the Jets RBs.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt's "bold prediction" for the Jets' 2025 season is that RB Braelon Allen leads the team in rushing. "There’s an assumption that Breece Hall is the Jets’ top running back but when the games start and Aaron Glenn and Tanner Engstrand start divvying up the carries, I truly think at some point (perhaps early) Allen will become the predominant ball carrier in the running back room," Rosenblatt writes.

Jets’ third-string RB Isaiah Davis hasn’t practiced in two weeks as he recovers from an ankle injury, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

According to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt, Jets HC Aaron Glenn is counting on a very productive year from RB Breece Hall, particularly as a receiver. The Jets backfield has sparked debates in fantasy circles, with reports ranging from a potential committee to Hall being the clear lead.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt believes the Jets backfield "might be more 1A-1B than 1-2," referring to RBs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. "This isn’t so much a knock on Hall as it is praise for Allen: The Jets are going to have a hard time keeping Allen off the field in 2025," Rosenblatt writes.

Jets RB Breece Hall expects to be a big part of a run-heavy offense under new OC Tanner Engstrand. "I know Tanner loves to run the ball," Hall said. "For me, just getting ready for that. He also knows how I can be effective in the pass game. He and [HC Aaron Glenn] always tell me: Breece, you’re going to do everything. So for me it’s just getting ready to do everything. I have to be ready to be a three-down back.”

Jets RB Breece Hall disappointed fantasy managers in 2024, going from mid-Round 1 pick to just 17th among RBs in PPR points per game. Does a new coaching staff provide hope ... or should we simply lower our expectations for Hall?

Jets RB Braelon Allen (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He’s not a viable fantasy option, especially with RB Breece Hall off this week’s injury report.

Jets RB Braelon Allen (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He put in a full practice on Friday, so he should play. RB Breece Hall was never listed on this week’s injury report, though, suggesting that he’s ready for a bigger workload. Allen isn’t a fantasy option.

Jets RB Braelon Allen is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a back injury. His absence leaves the backfield to Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis.

Update: Allen returned in the third quarter.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was listed as questionable but was a full-go in Friday’s practice. And there was optimism about his status throughout the weekend. We’d still be surprised if Hall handled his normal workload for a Jets team with nothing to play for. Remember that Hall tallied just 12 carries and one target playing through this knee injury back in Week 13. He checks in as a low-end RB2 in the Week 15 Rankings.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. "Looks good ... promising," interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said of Hall's Week 15 status on Friday. Hall did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, so it's safe to assume he's still not at 100%. We're frankly surprised that the Jets would play Hall in this meaningless game -- and would be even more surprised if he handles a big workload. Hall tallied just 12 carries and one target playing through this knee injury back in Week 13. Consider him no better than a risky RB2 in Week 15 fantasy lineups, despite the plus matchup. Hall's return knocks RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis out of consideration.

Update: Hall is listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Jets interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that RB Breece Hall is "struggling a bit" with his knee injury. “Maybe it’s not improving as much as he’d like, at this point," Ulbrich added. "We’ll see how it goes this week.” We'll keep you posted on Hall's progress over the next few days, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him playing in a meaningless game vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis split work almost right down the middle with Hall out last week.

The Jets are not planning to shut down RB Breece Hall (knee), ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's still unclear when Hall might be ready to return from what's been reported as hyperextension and MCL issues in his previously surgically repaired left knee. We'll track his practice participation this coming week, as well as what the Jets' backfield looks like with rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis today.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He's dealing with a hyperextension and MCL issue in his left knee, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. That's the same knee in which Hall tore the ACL in October 2022. We haven't heard a timeline for Hall's return, but it's possible that the 3-9 Jets just shut him down for the season. He's worth keeping stashed on all fantasy rosters for now, but Hall owners should be prepping to be without him beyond just this week.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. It looks like he made the knee injury worse playing through it last week. We'll see if Hall misses time beyond Week 14 for a Jets team that's just playing out the string on the season. Hall's absence this weekend leaves the backfield to rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. Allen is a good bet to lead in carries, but this Jets coaching staff seems to like what Davis has given them lately. He could be more involved than expected.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. That's a downgrade from last week, when Hall was limited on Thursday. He's not a lock to play vs. the Dolphins this weekend. Hall's absence would leave Braelon Allen as the Jets' likely lead back, with Isaiah Davis as the No. 2. Check back tomorrow for another update on Hall.

Jets RB Breece Hall entered Sunday's game questionable with a knee issue and finished the loss to Seattle with his smallest playing-time share of the season. Hall played 61.8% of the offensive snaps, marking just the second time all year that he played less than 70%. Hall had played 74-87% in each of the previous seven games.
