Breece Hall Fantasy

The New York Jets will deploy a running back by committee as long as Mike LaFleur is their offensive coordinator. Running back Breece Hall is the team's new starter after the Jets selected him in the second round of the NFL draft last Friday. Michael Carter will spell Hall to form a solid one-two punch for New York's backfield in 2022. Carter impressed as the Jets best RB last year, but Hall, 20, ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the combine in February, and the former Iowa State star has a workhorse frame with big-play potential at the position. Hall had an impressive resume in college, justifying him as the first RB off the board in the draft. While his upside will be limited with Carter in the picture, Hall could be a solid RB2 for fantasy managers in his rookie season.

The Jets, who acquired the No. 36 overall pick from the Giants, selected Iowa State running back Breece Hall on Friday during the NFL Draft. After New York made a splash in the first round by taking Ahmad Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and Jermaine Johnson, the team continued to move toward the future by taking arguably the best back in the draft, a player who had a rushing touchdown in 24 consecutive collegiate outings. The selection isn't good news for Michael Carter Jr., although he may split time with Hall during the 2022-23 campaign.

On Wednesday, an ESPN Insider report from Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano speculated on what the Buffalo Bills might do with their first-round pick (25th overall). According to Fowler and Graziano, there is some belief across the league that the Bills could make something of a "luxury pick" at No. 25 due to the fact that they have no clear and immediate needs on their roster. In this case, Iowa State running back Breece Hall could fit the "luxury pick" criteria perfectly. Widely regarded as the top running back in the draft, Hall could give the Bills elite offense a new dynamic. Fowler and Graziano wrote, "Hall would give them an explosive playmaker at the position that new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey could use in tandem with Devin Singletary."
