Breece Hall vs Ashton Jeanty

“Breece Hall (RB – NYJ) | ADP: 32.7 Overall (RB17) I understand the reluctance to draft Breece Hall in the first couple of rounds, but let’s not forget just how good he is. Even in a putrid Jets offense last year, Hall managed to clear 1,000 yards rushing.”

“Breece Hall’s reception totals have declined every season, but I’m hoping that with more consistent quarterback play from Geno Smith and more weapons at the receiver and tight end positions, his usage will be much better in 2026. Still, Hall did turn 243 carries and 36 catches into more than 1,400 total yards.”

“You could also add a running back such as Breece Hall or Jeremiyah Love .”

“De’Von Achane , Breece Hall, and Kenneth Walker”

“9 | Diff: +2 Breece Hall had a tough time last year despite finishing as the RB20 in fantasy points per game.”

“30 overall, giving him strong enough draft capital to matter, yet a crowded offense with Garrett Wilson, Kenyon Sadiq, and Breece Hall points more toward a complementary early role than instant target dominance.”

“Gamers are still operating with one foot in and the other out on Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, but the upside potential is still on the table.”

“Breece Hall (NYJ) — ECR: RB16 | Projection Rank: RB13 | Projected FPTS: 229.8 Breece Hall had a tough time last year despite finishing as the RB20 in fantasy points per game. New York’s quarterback play was dreadful, and the offense overall was a mess, which led to them ranking 29th in points per game and red zone scoring opportunities per game.”

“Hall should see an increase in targets, especially considering Ashton Jeanty saw 69 targets with Smith under center for the Raiders last season. If Hall sees more opportunities in the passing game, his receiving role alone justifies taking him in the dead zone.”

“Specific round targets mentioned include Breece Hall and Javonte Williams in round three, and Cam Akers and David Montgomery in round four, with DeAndre Swift as a round five option.”

“With Geno Smith commanding the offense, this may be the most stable quarterback Hall has played with in his young career. That said, we are also coming off a horrific season for Smith with the Raiders in 2026.”

“Do keep that in mind when you draft Wilson and Hall because if you are aiming for ceiling, you might airball.”

“Ashton Jeanty sustained an ankle injury in practice last week, and thanks in part to an uncertain return window, Washington’s ADP shifted tremendously.”

“A healthy Ashton Jeanty behind him will do wonders, but Mendoza will need to speed up his mental process and deliver more accurate passes in order to usurp Kirk Cousins on the depth chart any time soon.”

“Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV) Down about eight spots and sliding within the first round as the market prices in his ankle sprain. The diagnosis was a relief, not season-ending or considered long-term, but there is a real chance he misses Week 1, and that uncertainty is enough to knock a first-round back down a few pegs.”

“Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV) One player available at this spot with undeniable upside is Ashton Jeanty . When the Raiders selected him sixth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the expectations were tempered slightly because of where the Raiders were as an offense.”

“Ashton Jeanty went down with an ankle injury in Sunday’s practice, the rookie Washington stepped into the first-team reps, and he has earned the market’s attention with his preseason work: Six carries for 63 yards including a 53-yard burst against Arizona, then 56 more yards against Houston, while flashing ability in pass protection and as a receiver. Even with Jeanty expected back, Washington has vaulted up boards as the clear next man up in a Raiders backfield that suddenly looks thin behind the star. Deebo Samuel Sr.”

“We saw this last season with Ashton Jeanty , who was hit behind the line of scrimmage on more than 25% of his carries.”

“Ashton Jeanty (ankle) uncertain for Week 1 Ashton Jeanty is dealing with a lower ankle sprain and his status for Week 1 is uncertain. Fantasy Impact This is actually a positive development for Jeanty, as there was certainly some concern over a longer-term injury when the second-year running back went down this past Sunday.”

“Ashton Jeanty, playing alongside Geno Smith last season, was targeted a whopping 73 times. Hall, on the other hand, saw just 36 passes come his way after totaling 76 and 57 targets in the two seasons prior.”

“The upside is undeniable for Ashton Jeanty , but it’s worth taking a moment to consider the whole picture before drafting him this highly. The Las Vegas Raiders are projected to win somewhere around four games this year, which is far lower total than any other first-round talent we’ve talked about would be facing.”

“Ashton Jeanty fits that bill. Last season, he had 266 carries and 55 receptions. There are really no additional weapons added to the team, so 300 touches or so for Jeanty on a team with an improved offensive line and quarterback play is realistic.”

“I opted to go with Ashton Jeanty at the end of the first round. In hindsight, I may have done this slightly differently, opting for Brock Bowers as the piece of this Raiders offense.”
