Hall started training camp on the PUP list after tearing his ACL last season and is questionable to be ready for Week 1. Hall looked impressive as a rookie prior to getting hurt, scoring at least 13 PPR points in six of seven games before being injured in Week 7. The Jets offense has a chance to be explosive with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Hall should have the chance for a sensational sophomore campaign if he doesn't suffer a setback. While Hall could be a top-five running back once healthy, Fantasy managers should plan to draft him in Round 5 after the addition of Dalvin Cook in mid-August. Cook's presence should allow Hall to take as much time as he needs to recover fully, and his value in Fantasy is likely to come in the back half of the season.
Hall rushed six times for 56 yards and caught three of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Kansas City.
Hall was limited during the week at practice as the Jets continues to ease him back in action after he suffered a torn ACL last season. The Iowa State product was explosive when called upon, finishing as the team's leading rusher despite his limited workload. Hall has alternated games with single-digit and double-digit carries through four weeks with mixed results, but he possesses the talent to break off a long gain at any time. His volatile touch count makes him a risky play against the Broncos next Sunday.

Jets' Breece Hall: Puts in full practice
Rotowire
Hall (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
After tearing his ACL in addition to suffering a meniscus injury last October, Hall has made a clean recovery and has gained clearance ahead of each of the Jets' first three games by turning in at least one full practice every week. He appears to be getting healthier as the weeks roll along, as Thursday marks the first time that he's put in a full practice before the Jets' third session of a given week. Whether that translates to an increased workload Sunday against the Chiefs is uncertain, but Hall's playing time seems to be on an upward trajectory. After logging 32 percent of the offensive snaps in both of the Jets' first two games, Hall took on a 48 percent share in this past Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Jets' Breece Hall: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
The Chiefs allowed David Montgomery to score a rushing touchdown in Week 1, but he's the lone running back with more than 8.0 PPR points against Kansas City this season. Hall has yet to play 50 percent of the snaps for the Jets in three games, and he's combined for 16 carries for 27 yards and one catch for 9 yards on four targets in his past two outings against the Cowboys and Patriots. Until Hall shows he's 100 percent back from last year's knee injury, as well as improved quarterback and offensive line play from the Jets, you should keep Hall on your bench in most leagues.

Jets' Breece Hall: Set for limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Hall (knee) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
The Jets continue to manage Hall's practice reps, but if the last few weeks are any indication, the running should practice fully by Friday before gaining clearance to play against the Chiefs on Sunday. In the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Patriots, Hall logged 31 snaps while rushing 12 times for 18 yards and catching one of his two targets for nine yards. Meanwhile, fellow back Dalvin Cook was on the field for 16 snaps, carrying eight times for 18 yards and catching all three of his targets for 11 yards.

Jets' Breece Hall: Cleared for Week 3
Rotowire
Hall (knee) logged a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Hall's limited participation Wednesday and Thursday was due to load management on his surgically repaired knee. After following the same practice pattern last week, Hall was listed as questionable against Dallas, but he avoided a designation this time around. Hall got just four carries against the Cowboys as the Jets abandoned the run after falling behind early, but New York's expected to lean on the ground game more heavily in this AFC East rivalry game.

Jets' Breece Hall: Logs another limited practice
Rotowire
Hall (knee) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.
If Hall follows his practice pattern from last week, he'll return to a full session Friday to clear up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Patriots. In any case, the Jets' final injury report of the week will clarify whether Hall -- who has played in both of the team's first two games after recovering from last season's torn ACL -- approaches Sunday's contest listed as questionable or free of a Week 3 injury designation.

Jets' Breece Hall: RBs to Sit

Hall is still too risky to trust right now heading into Week 3 against the Patriots. He was great in Week 1 against Buffalo with 147 total yards on just 11 touches, but he was miserable in Week 2 at Dallas with four carries for 9 yards and no catches on two targets. He's played fewer snaps than Dalvin Cook in each of the first two games, which will hopefully change soon, but the Jets are being cautious with Hall coming back from last year's knee injury. New England was trounced by Raheem Mostert in Week 2 for 127 total yards and two touchdowns, but the Patriots were daring Miami to run to protect against the Dolphins passing game. The Jets passing game isn't scaring anyone right now with Zach Wilson under center, so Hall could have another game with poor production in Week 3.

Jets' Breece Hall: Limited in practice, as usual
Rotowire
Hall (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Hall's practice reps have been capped all season, with the Jets taking a cautious approach with his return from the torn ACL he suffered last October. He suited up for both of the team's first two games but saw his touches dip from 11 in Week 1 to four in Week 2 as the Jets fell behind early in Dallas and abandoned the run. If the Jets are able to follow a more positive game script this Sunday against the Patriots, Hall should see his opportunities tick back up.

Jets' Breece Hall: Suits up against Dallas
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Hall logged back-to-back limited practices to start the week, but his full participation Friday set the stage for the 2022 second-rounder to suit up Sunday. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, coach Robert Saleh previously indicated that Hall is on track to remain on some level of a pitch count as the Jets ease the running back in after last year's torn ACL. In that arrangement, Dalvin Cook logged 16 touches to Hall's 11 in this past Monday's win over the Bills, a context that resulted Hall rushing 10 times for 127 yards (including an 83-yarder) and catching one of his two targets for 20 yards, while Cook carried 13 times for 33 yards and caught three passes for 26 yards.

Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable after full practice
Rotowire
Hall (knee) logged a full practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall started the week off with back-to-back limited practices, but his full participation Friday suggests the second-year running back is more likely than not to suit up Sunday. Per Cimini, coach Robert Saleh said Hall remains on a pitch count as the Jets ease the running back in after last year's torn ACL. Dalvin Cook had 16 touches to Hall's 11 in Monday's win over the Bills, and Cimini expects a similar distribution Sunday in Dallas.

Jets' Breece Hall: Remains limited in practice
Rotowire
Hall (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Coming off a 10-carry, 127-yard rushing performance in the Jets' 22-16 overtime win over Buffalo on Monday, Hall has now been limited in both of the team's first practice sessions of Week 2. The Jets haven't suggested that Hall's limitations are the result of any setback with his surgically repaired knee, so his reps are presumably being capped for maintenance purposes more than anything. Hall should be ready to go by the time Sunday's game in Dallas arrives, and he could be in store for a slight uptick in playing time after logging just 17 snaps against Buffalo.

Jets' Breece Hall: Tops 100 rushing yards in return
Rotowire
Hall (knee) rushed 10 times for 127 yards and caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Monday's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.
Hall got the start and immediately ripped off a 26-yard run on the Jets' first offensive play, showing that his surgically repaired knee is doing just fine. His next run didn't come until the second quarter, but it went even better, as Hall broke free for an 83-yard gain to flip the field after the Jets started on their own four-yard line. Dalvin Cook led the Jets with 13 rushing attempts but mustered just 33 yards on the ground, as Hall was the far more effective runner. Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) exited on the opening drive and could be out for the season, so the Jets will likely take on a more run-first approach at the expense of goal-line opportunities with Zach Wilson under center, which means both Hall and Cook can be expected to garner double-digit touches against Dallas in Week 2.

Jets' Breece Hall: Listed as questionable, should play
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Bills, but the running back is expected to play, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Hall was a full participant in Saturday's practice and said afterward that he's excited to play Monday, but the Jets are still having him enter the Week 1 contest with an injury designation. The talented tailback is expected to share the backfield primarily with Dalvin Cook, although it's possible Michael Carter and Israel Abanikanda could enter the mix as well if the Jets want to present some different offensive looks.

Jets' Breece Hall: RBs to Sit

I'd be cautious about using Hall or Dalvin Cook in Week 1, especially after what Jets coach Robert Saleh said earlier this week about his running back rotation. "I don't know if I want to call it a snap count, but we are gonna be smart with them," Saleh said. "We'll continue to evaluate and build up what we think Monday needs to be, but it's not that we're putting a snap count on it. It's just they're two really good football players -- Michael Carter's a really good football player -- and just trying to find a way to feature all of them." It would be great if Hall returned from last year's torn ACL with a big game, but Cook and Carter could cap his touches. And Cook is also coming back from offseason shoulder surgery. Oh, and the Bills run defense is also tough, further complicating matters. I would only use Hall as a flex option this week.

Jets' Breece Hall: On track for season opener
Rotowire
Coach Robert Saleh said that he expects Hall (knee) to suit up for Sept. 11's regular-season opener against the Bills on Monday Night Football, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Saleh said Hall won't practice Monday, as the result of a planned rest day. He and Dalvin Cook are both expected to suit up Week 1, and while Saleh said neither player will be on a snap count, he also cautioned that the Jets will be "prudent" with their respective workloads. That could foreshadow a relatively even committee between Hall and Cook to begin the season, potentially even with Michael Carter working in a fair amount. Hall appears to be recovering well from the ACL tear that cut his rookie season short, but he may have to ramp up his workload during the early weeks of the season.

Jets' Breece Hall: Won't play in preseason finale
Rotowire
Hall (knee) logged 11-on-11 work during Tuesday's padless practice, but won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, Hall seemed to be moving well laterally while participating in team drills Tuesday, which is a positive sign with regard to the running back's chances of being available for Week 1 action. Per Cimini, Dalvin Cook, who is bouncing back from a shoulder injury, also won't play Saturday. The team's backfield carry allotment out of the gate between Hall and Cook remains an open question.

Jets' Breece Hall: Participating in team drills
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is taking part in 11-on-11 reps at practice Thursday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Hall is handling team reps for the first time in training camp, quick work after having just been activated from the PUP list Tuesday. The Jets have expressed confidence that Hall will be available for Week 1, but said the plan is to ease him into a full workload, so to see him already taking part in 11-on-11 drills is noticeable to say the least. Per Al Iannazzone of Newsday, Hall scored a touchdown on a slant pass in Thursday's session, showing that the ACL tear he suffered last October hasn't sapped his speed. Meanwhile, new backfield mate Dalvin Cook (shoulder) continues to watch practice from the side. The outcome of training camp practices in the coming weeks, and perhaps also preseason action, stands to be very impactful in informing New York's early season backfield split.

Jets' Breece Hall: Eased back into the mix
Rotowire
Hall (knee) participated in light individual drills in his return to practice Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall, who suffered a torn ACL on Oct. 23 last season, was activated off the PUP list Tuesday and is unsurprisingly is being eased back into the mix. While head coach Robert Saleh said that the Jets are "very confident" Hall will be ready for Week 1, Cimini suggests that the team's plan is to limit the second-year back's workload early on in the season while leaning more heavily on newcomer Dalvin Cook, whose signing with New York became official Tuesday. How much work Hall sees out of the gate in 2023 presumably hinges on how he looks as he ramps up his practice activity in the coming days and weeks, but the addition of Cook to a running back room that also includes Michael Carter, Zonovan Knight and rookie Israel Abanikanda allows the team to proceed deliberately with Hall. In seven regular-season games last season before suffering the knee injury, Hall averaged 5.8 yards per carry and totaled five touchdowns.

Jets' Breece Hall: Officially back at practice
Rotowire
The Jets reinstated Hall (knee) from the active/PUP list Tuesday.
Hall is set to practice on a limited basis, a significant step in his recovery from a left ACL tear suffered Week 7 of his rookie season. New backfield mate Dalvin Cook (shoulder), signed Monday, isn't yet ready to practice due to his own recovery from an offseason procedure, but the hope in New York is that both will be in top form shortly. If Hall's recovery lingers into the start of the regular season, or he needs time to ramp up his workload, Cook's presence could provide the Jets with a highly capable starting option. When both are fully healthy, however, new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett could deploy a scheme similar to the one he used in Green Bay, in which Aaron Jones found success despite being in tandems with first Jamaal Williams and then AJ Dillon.
