The New York Jets will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. 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 15?
The New York Jets starting running back missed last week’s game with a knee injury that is reportedly some sort of MCL sprain. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that despite their season being over, the Jets have no plans of shutting down Hall. He will play when he is healthy enough to do so. Will that be this week? We will find out.
Hall did not practice at all last week and was initially listed as doubtful before being ruled out on Saturday. This week started out the same way, with Hall not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday.
However, on Friday, Hall surprisingly practiced in full. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich expressed optimism regarding the status of his star running back, saying that he is hopeful Hall can play on Sunday.
Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis formed an even timeshare in his absence and will continue to do so if Hall can’t play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jets’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Breece Hall in Week 15?
Hall was forced to miss last week with a knee injury that has been nagging at him for a while. In his stead, New York’s running backs carried 21 times for 83 yards.
Hall was a star in the early going this season, but with just one top-15 finish since Week 8, a compromised version of him is a scary thought. Reports surfaced last last week that the eliminated Jets had no plans of shutting down their starting RB, and while we have no choice but to take them at their word in that regard, the fact that they felt the need to say that has me thinking that we could be looking at a multi-week absence.
If Hall finds a way onto the field this weekend, we can circle back to this, but as things stand right now, I’m not counting on having him at my disposal.
