The New York Jets will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Breece Hall.
Is Breece Hall Playing in Week 13?
Hall didn’t practice on Wednesday while he deals with a knee injury. However, he made progress all week, returning to a limited session on Thursday and a full one on Friday. He received a questionable tag on the final report of the week.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall tweaked his knee against the Colts in Week 11 — before New York’s Week 12 bye — but remained in the game and later developed soreness.
The fact that Hall is still battling an injury even after Gang Green’s bye week is undoubtedly concerning. The good news is that Hall spoke to the media after Friday’s practice and said he “felt good.” His progression in practice this week suggests he should be able to play Sunday.
Hall’s production has been spotty recently inside a broken Jets offense, but he finished as fantasy’s RB3 against the Colts. He’s been RB24 or better in seven of 11 games this year.
If Hall is out or limited against the Seahawks, fourth-round rookie Braelon Allen will handle the majority of New York’s backfield touches. Allen was more involved earlier this season and even finished as fantasy’s RB6 after scoring twice in Week 2. However, the Wisconsin product played just nine snaps and took two carries in Week 11.
Seattle isn’t a great matchup for whoever New York RB carries the load on Sunday, as the Seahawks have improved against the run after acquiring LB Ernest Jones at the trade deadline. Since Week 9, Seattle ranks fifth-best in the NFL with a 67.2% run-defense success rate on defense.

Should You Start or Sit Breece Hall in Week 13?
Breece Hall is rounding into form at the perfect time, though speculation surrounding Aaron Rodgers’ status moving forward serves as something that DFS managers will need to track — there’s no actionable move for redraft managers setting lineups for this week if a change is made.
- Week 8 at New England Patriots: 31.6% below expectations
- Week 9 vs. Houston Texans: 19.4% below expectations
- Week 10 at Arizona Cardinals: 10.7% above expectations
- Week 11 vs. Indianapolis Colts: 73.4% above expectations
Hall recorded a season-high 23 touches in the loss to the Colts, and that volume allowed him to score twice, doubling his total from the previous seven games. We are looking at an elite talent in a tough spot — he’s the 2024 version of 2023 Bijan Robinson, to a degree.
I like him to post his eighth top-20 finish of the season regardless of the situation under center, but I would remove top-five upside (three such finishes this season) from his profile should Rodgers be sat down.
