News: 6 hours agoHall rushed 16 times for 80 yards while catching one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Spin: Hall's 17 touches marked his third-lowest total of the season, as he didn't make much of a mark as a pass catcher while ceding a larger share of carries than usual to Braelon Allen (12 carries for 32 yards and a touchdown). Allen now has two rushing scores this season to Hall's three, and the Jets' inability to spend extended periods with the lead coupled to competition for valuable goal-line touches have cut into Hall's fantasy value. Hall and the Jets will try to end a five-game losing streak Thursday against the Texans.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hall appeared fully recovered from his ACL tear by the end of the 2023 season. He was one of the few bright spots in a struggling Jets offense that was without future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. From Week 5 on, Hall was no longer on a snap count and his usage increased significantly, as he averaged 20.5 touches and 20.2 fantasy points per game over the final 13 games. Despite the Jets' offense ranking 29th in run block win rate, Hall consistently produced and also led all running backs in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Hall's potential is even greater with Rodgers hopefully under center for the entire 2024 season. Fantasy managers should feel confident drafting him as the second running back off the board, behind Christian McCaffrey.
