Breece Hall vs Brock Bowers

“Running back Breece Hall has signed a long-term deal with New York as the Jets have taken care of a few in-house deals this offseason.”

“The projections call for more than 1,500 total yards, nearly 50 receptions, and close to double-digit touchdowns. Hall remains one of the league's most efficient runners on a per-touch basis.”

“Hall can also earn fully guaranteed per-game roster bonuses worth $340,000 in both 2026 and 2027, while his 2028 compensation includes a $14.16 million base salary and another $340,000 in per-game roster bonuses, with the contract containing up to $750,000 annually in incentives tied to Pro Bowl selection, 1,416 yards from scrimmage, and seven rushing touchdowns.”

“The Jets signed RB Breece Hall to a three-year contract worth $45.75 million through incentives, including a $5 million signing bonus, a fully guaranteed $5 million 2026 roster bonus, fully guaranteed base salaries of $5.16 million in 2026 and $13.16 million in 2027, and $29 million fully guaranteed over the first two seasons.”

“Hall topped 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in 2025 and recorded more than 1,300 scrimmage yards for the third year in a row.”

“Hall will receive $29MM guaranteed, with locked-in money paid out over the next two years and no guarantees for 2028, making this a $14.5MM-per-year pact for now with incentives in Year 3.”

“Hall's extension is worth up to $45.75MM over three years with an average annual value of $15.25MM, ranking third in the NFL among running backs behind only Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey.”

“Breece Hall's Jets tenure will continue beyond 2026 after the franchise-tagged running back worked out an extension agreement with New York.”

“Without a long-term deal, the Seahawks still could have attempted to retain Walker for another year via the $14.29MM franchise tag (as the Jets did with Breece Hall) or the $11.32MM transition tag.”

“Their rebuild just so happens to be consuming Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, plus the addition of Sadiq and Cooper.”

“Hughes adds that the front office has taken note of the three-year, $43.05MM deal Kenneth Walker just signed in Kansas City, and believing that Hall is a better back, they intend to extend him a bigger offer.”

“Per Hughes, though, there was a period just before the Jets moved to place the franchise tag during which they were "pretty confident" that a deal was going to get done. With the possibility of an agreement within their reach, New York intends to shift its focus back to Hall once the draft is in the rearview.”

“Bowers, meanwhile, is onto his third quarterback in three years and will be hoping that Fernando Mendoza adjusts quickly to the NFL.”

“I've had the best results getting my starting RBs from this stage, a solid, back-end top 12 WR, and Brock Bowers if he's going for somewhere near the mid $30s.”

“Bowers was plagued by injuries last season. He played through a couple of lingering injuries at the start of the season, and ultimately ended his season after 12 games.”

“As a rookie, Bowers set the rookie record for most receptions and yards at the position. These stats will knock your socks off: 153 targets, 112 receptions, 1,149 yards, five touchdowns.”

“Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn't really matter. Neither should be drafted this high. Bowers, meanwhile, is onto his third quarterback in three years and will be hoping that Fernando Mendoza adjusts quickly to the NFL.”

“Everyone is expecting the Raiders' rookie QB to pepper Bowers as he gets his feet wet. Expect to pay a premium for the top-ranked TE, this year.”

“Bowers is worth a look in the back half of the second round or early in the third round of 12-team fantasy drafts.”

“Widely considered one of the best TE prospects to ever enter the league, Bowers had 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns on 153 targets as a rookie. With better health in 2026, he has a chance to match or exceed his rookie numbers.”

“Pat Fitzmaurice compared Bowers' potential fantasy edge to the advantage Travis Kelce provided during his peak seasons. Even as a rookie, Bowers posted elite receiving numbers and finished among the league leaders in targets, receptions, and receiving yards across all pass catchers.”

“Brock Bowers, Raiders (24) was the highest rated Tight End in the NFL Top 100 for 2025.”

“Bowers, meanwhile, is onto his third quarterback in three years and will be hoping that Fernando Mendoza adjusts quickly to the NFL.”

“I am taking the post-injury discount on Brock Bowers after he missed five games in 2025. Despite missing those games, he actually scored more touchdowns (seven) than he did in his phenomenal rookie season.”
