Breece Hall

2022 Fantasy Upside
All signs are pointing to Breece Hall being the No. 1 running back in New York. He was the first running back taken in the draft as the Jets traded up and used a second round pick to select the Iowa State product. Hall's college production speaks for itself with 3,000+ rushing yards and 56 touchdowns. Running backs have had more success transitioning to the NFL than other positions and Hall is physically big and strong enough to be a factor immediately and possibly as a three-down back,.

2022 Fantasy Downside
New offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is a Shanahan offensive philosophy pupil who tends to go with running backs by committee. Last year, rookie Michael Carter had a strong season so he should still be in the mix. That would take touches away from Hall. There is also the Jets factor which basically says the offense will continue to be in the bottom third of the NFL.

2022 Bottom Line
We expect Hall to live up to expectations in 2022 and be the lead running back for the Jets. He should get 200 carries and has a chance to get to the 1,000 yard rushing plateau. Many fantasy managers are buying into him as he is going off the board in the 5th or 6th round. It's not out of the question for him to be your RB2 this season and if you can grab him as your RB3, you will have a steal. This of course is predicated on the Jets offense continuing to improve under second-year coach Robert Saleh and QB Zach Wilson.
