Fantasy Managers Should Buy-Low on Breece Hall Before It’s Too Late

The talented Jets RB is ready for takeoff with no snap restriction.

In the ever-evolving landscape of fantasy football, finding mid-round gems can be the key to victory. Breece Hall, the talented second-year running back for the New York Jets, is one such gem who has recently returned to full strength after an ACL injury cut his rookie season short. If you’re looking to bolster your fantasy roster, now is the ideal time to consider Hall as a buy-low candidate. Let’s dive into why he could be your ticket to rest-of-season fantasy success.

BREECE HALL VS DALVIN COOK

The Jets signed veteran Dalvin Cook preseason to help fill in and handle a share of the touches while Hall returned to full strength. On top of that, Aaron Rodgers ruptured his Achilles on the first drive of his Jets career, putting a serious cap on the offensive’s ceiling.

Through four games, the snap counts in the Jets backfield have been as follows:

  • Breece Hall
    • Week 1 – 33%
    • Week 2 – 33%
    • Week 3 – 49%
    • Week 4 – 44%
  • Dalvin Cook
    • Week 1 – 50%
    • Week 2 – 37%
    • Week 3 – 25%
    • Week 4 – 25%

Understandably, Cook received most of the work for the first two weeks. However, Cook has been extremely underwhelming, resulting in the shift towards Hall playing more snaps the last two weeks. Even third-stringer Michael Carter out-snapped Cook this past week with a 31% share. While Cook has managed to squander whatever chances he has been given, Hall has flourished in what limited action he’s had.

WHAT’S NEXT?

FREEDOM! This is music to our ears, seeing the Jets taking the training wheels off of Hall and letting him run wild. Hall has looked extremely good in some spots while ripping off a few huge runs. As the offense runs through Zach Wilson, I’d have to imagine a good amount of responsibility will be put on Hall to give this offense a spark to move the football.

Currently, Hall sits at RB25 on The Wolf’s Rest of Season Rankings. That will surely change soon with an increased workload and higher usage. The skill is undeniable; we’ve already seen the flashes of excellence this year, working back to full strength.

It’s the perfect and probably last time to buy low on Hall. You can check out our trade chart articles to see comparable values when crafting an offer. Due to his earlier injury woes, many fantasy managers may have soured on Hall, leading to a dip in his trade value. This is where your opportunity lies. By targeting him in trades now, you can acquire a potential RB1 at a fraction of the cost he would have commanded before his injuries.

In fantasy football, timing is everything, and Breece Hall presents a prime buy-low opportunity. With his return to full strength, a versatile skill set, and the potential for an improved Jets offense, Hall could be the player who propels your fantasy team to victory. Don’t let this opportunity slip away – make your move now and reap the rewards for weeks to come.

The Wolf has Hall ranked as an RB2 this week, checking in at RB21 on the Week 5 Rankings against the worst run defense in the league.
