Should You Start or Sit Breece Hall in Week 17?
Hall was RB13 or better in three straight games to open the season, and most of us figured it was wheels up for a big season.
However, that hasn’t proven to be the case, as he has just three finishes better than RB18 since that initial burst. At the very least, as mentioned above, we saw him reassume his role as the lead man in this backfield – that makes him playable, even if none of his 14 carries gained more than seven yards last week.
In an underwhelming statistical performance against the Rams, Hall still had his moments. He took a dump-off pass on a critical third down in the second half and wedged between defenders to move the chains. The impact ended up being minimal, but it’s plays like that that help explain the long-term optimism.
The Jets gave him 23 touches in Week 6 against these Bills, and he rewarded them with 169 yards from scrimmage. I don’t think we get a repeat performance, but Buffalo certainly encourages its opponents to run and/or check down, putting Hall in a position to be an RB2 at worst. I think he comes loaded with RB1 upside.
