Jets HC Robert Saleh announced Wednesday that he's going back to QB Zach Wilson as the starter for Week 14 vs. the Texans and for the rest of the season. Wilson was bad over the first 10 games of the season, completing 59% of his passes at 6.1 yards per attempt. But QBs Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian combined for 5.2 yards per attempt on a 60.5% completion rate over the last two weeks. Consider Wilson's return a small upgrade for the Jets passing game. WR Garrett Wilson and RB Breece Hall, of course, remain the only viable fantasy starters in this offense.
The Jets' offense was again putrid in Week 13's loss vs. the Falcons. The team benched QB Tim Boyle in the contest and has now moved on to its fourth signal-caller of the year, Trevor Siemian. Unfortunately, RB Breece Hall continues to be hamstrung by these poor circumstances. The second-year back posted 13 carries for 16 rushing yards on Sunday and only managed to bail out fantasy managers in PPR leagues by securing 6 catches for 29 yards. The Jets' remaining schedule isn't scary (18th RB strength of schedule per our adjusted fantasy points allowed), but the dismal offense relegates Hall to mid-to-low-end RB2 status from here on out.
Jets RB Breece Hall (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re not expecting the hammy to be an issue. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also active.
A source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is "unlikely" to play again this season. Rodgers got back on the practice field this week -- less than three months after tearing his Achilles. But the thought all along was that he'd only play again if the Jets were still in the playoff hunt. At 4-7, they'd likely need to win out to earn a postseason berth. So we'll be forced to watch more Tim Boyle or Zach Wilson or Trevor Siemian the rest of the way. Rodgers is at least on track to return to save WR Garrett Wilson and RB Breece Hall in 2024.
Jets RBs Breece Hall (hamstring) and Dalvin Cook (shoulder) are expected to play vs. the Falcons today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hall practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we're not too worried about the hamstring.
Jets RB Breece Hall (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re fully expecting Hall to play. We’ll get the Jets’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also questionable.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) has been designated to return from IR. It means he'll be back on the practice field this week. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on Sunday that Rodgers is still targeting a Week 16 return -- but we remain skeptical that he'll play again this season for a Jets team without a realistic chance to make the playoffs. We'll keep you updated on the situation. If Rodgers does return, it'd be excellent news for the late-season fantasy prospects of RB Breece Hall and WR Garrett Wilson.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is still hoping to get back on the field for the Week 16 game against the Commanders, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. (What QB wouldn't want to play against that pass defense?!) There's a chance that Rodgers returns to practice this coming week, per Rapoport, although getting back on the practice field the following week is considered more likely. This is a bit of a surprise since earlier reports said Rodgers would only return if the Jets were in the playoff hunt. They have less than a 1% chance to make it after Friday's loss to the Dolphins, according to The New York Times' model. But Rodgers is obviously out to prove something with this return from a torn Achilles. And it'd be nice to build some positive momentum heading into 2024. Rodgers would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups if he does make it back. But it'd be excellent news for WR Garrett Wilson and RB Breece Hall's late-season fantasy value.
The Jets released RB Michael Carter. The 2021 fourth-round pick totaled just eight carries and 20 targets in nine games this season, including three carries and nine targets over the last four. Carter's departure is just a slight boost for RB Breece Hall's passing-game usage. RB Dalvin Cook remains fantasy-irrelevant. We'll see where Carter lands, but he's obviously a long shot for 2023 fantasy value and is not a must-hold in dynasty. He'll turn 25 in May.
Jets RB Breece Hall ended Monday night with just 50 yards on 16 carries vs. the Chargers. The Jets’ offensive line was not effective in Week 9. Hall’s longest run was a 10-yarder, and the team allowed QB Zach Wilson to be sacked a season-high 8 times. The good news, however, is that Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter combined for 8 total touches to Hall’s 20 in the contest. Volume certainly wasn’t the issue. Hall should have a much better time in Week 10 against a Raiders defense that ranks as the fifth-easiest RB matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed.
Jets RB Breece Hall couldn’t get much going on the ground in Week 8 vs. the Giants. The second-year back finished the contest with 17 rushing yards on 12 carries. Fortunately, he was effective as a pass-catcher, totaling 76 yards and a TD on 6 receptions. This is now the third game in a row since HC Robert Saleh lifted Hall’s ACL recovery-related workload cap that he’s posted 20+ PPR points. Week 9’s matchup vs. the Chargers presents a solid opportunity for Hall to ball out again.
Jets RB Breece Hall saw a predictable drop in rushing production in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He tallied just 39 yards on 12 rushes (3.3 per carry) against one of the league's top run defenses. But Hall did run for the team's only TD. He also set season highs in targets (5), receptions (5), and receiving yards (54). Hall hadn't previously caught more than three passes in a game this year -- which he did each of the previous two weeks -- and hadn't produced more than 20 receiving yards. Hall dominated backfield work for the second straight game. Dalvin Cook carried only three times for 12 yards. Michael Carter carried just once. And each guy saw 1 target. Hall looks like an every-week fantasy starter going forward. Just make sure you expect production variations in a shaky-to-poor Jets offense.
Jets RB Breece Hall had his 2023 breakout game vs. the Broncos, racking up 194 total yards and a TD. The highlight was a 72-yard TD burst in the third quarter. Hall was a broken tackle away from breaking a few more big plays in this one. He's looking closer and closer to 100% each week. More importantly, the Jets fed Hall 22 carries and three targets in Denver -- easily his biggest workload of the season. That came just a few days after HC Robert Saleh said that Hall is no longer on a pitch count. He won't get to face the Broncos again this year. But if Hall is going to continue to get 71% of the RB opportunities like he did this week, he'll be at least a weekly RB2 going forward.
Jets HC Robert Saleh said Wednesday that RB Breece Hall is no longer on a pitch count. “He’s been working hard," Saleh said of Hall. "He ran violently last week in practice and I felt like it carried over into the game. You can tell he’s starting to get his legs underneath him. Even though he’s had production, he still hasn’t reached what he’s capable of and what he’s shown in the past.” Hall's snap rates over the first four weeks have gone 31%, 34%, 49%, 44%. It sounds like we should expect that to climb going forward. Perfect timing with a matchup against the pathetic Broncos defense on tap.
Jets RB Breece Hall recorded 6 carries for 56 yards with 3 catches on 4 targets for 13 yards in Sunday’s loss vs. the Chiefs. Teammate Dalvin Cook was ineffective in Week 4 with just 16 yards on 5 carries. This backfield has not been particularly strong so far this season, but a Week 5 matchup vs. a Broncos defense that allows 176.0 rushing yards per game to opponents so far this season should be appealing.
The Jets’ backfield is ugly. RBs Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook each tallied 18 rushing yards on 12 and 8 carries, respectively. Neither player is getting it done for fantasy managers right now. Next week’s matchup vs. the Chiefs isn’t going to be any easier. Both Hall and Cook will be flex considerations in deeper leagues for now, though expectations shouldn’t be high for either.
Jets RB Breece Hall totaled only 9 yards on 6 touches against Dallas. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind in the postgame presser. “I mean, I only got four touches. That’s why we struggled," Hall said. "It is what it is. We just got down early today and just abandoned the run. That type of stuff happens. You feel like you have to get back in the game and it just slips away.” Dalvin Cook, meanwhile, handled only 5 touches for 11 yards. Look for Hall to creep closer to 12+ touches next Sunday against New England.
Jets RB Breece Hall will remain on a pitch count in Week 2, HC Robert Saleh said. Hall was clearly New York's best RB in the opener, exploding for 127 yards on 10 carries. But the Jets are (wisely if annoyingly) sticking to their plan for him as he works back from the torn ACL. "Hall had 11 touches on Monday night. Have to think it'll be about the same on Sunday," ESPN's Rich Cimini tweeted. With QB Zach Wilson under center against a tough Cowboys defense, Hall is stuck in RB3 territory in the Week 2 Rankings.
