Breece Hall vs Chase Brown

“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.”

“Breece Hall blows his RB14 ADP out of the water and finishes as a top 5 back. Hall quietly logged 243 carries (11th in the NFL) and 17.4 touches per game last season despite playing in one of football's least efficient offenses, yet found the end zone just five times on 291 opportunities, a glaring positive regression candidate.”

“Hall is also due for some positive regression in the passing game. After catching 76 passes in 2023 and 57 in 2024, he was held to just 36 last season. Hall still posted the third-best yards per reception among running backs last season.”

“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.”

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

“Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell complimented Jets GM Darren Mougey on how they handled some of their internal situations, including getting their running back Breece Hall re-signed.”

“Chase Brown (RB – CIN) has real top-three overall ceiling that isn’t being discussed enough.”

“Chase Brown is expected to play an important role in a highly functioning offense that could finish as one of the top-scoring teams in 2026. Brown is a pass-catching back who adds a vast amount of value due to his high reception rate, and dual threat in regards to touchdowns (11 total) . The running back for the Bengals caught 69 receptions for 437 yards.”

“For example, fantasy players would need to use four of their first five or six picks to build a Cincinnati Bengals stack of Ja’Marr Chase , Chase Brown , Tee Higgins , and Joe Burrow”

“Repeat Seasons It should be more of the same for James Cook and Chase Brown , who saw little change in their offenses this offseason.”

“Fantasy Football Trends to Know Chase Brown (RB – CIN) Unfortunately, the Bengals’ offense fell apart when Joe Burrow suffered a turf toe injury early in the year. Thankfully, it improved after the team traded for Joe Flacco .”

“If the Bengals do have any spike in rushing scores, that is more fire to a surging Chase Brown this summer. Brown played 73.9% of the snaps in the red zone, which was RB5 on the season.”

“Still, Brown may be one of the few backs who can finish in the top five this season.”

“Round 2: Chase Brown (RB – CIN) Chase Brown was the counter-pick, viewed internally as a true first-round talent despite a far lower market price. The comparison drawn is directly to James Cook : all it takes is the offense clicking and staying healthy for Chase Brown to replicate what Buffalo got out of Cook two seasons ago.”

“Let's say you spend an early draft pick on Chase Brown. Some fantasy managers believe that if you draft Brown, you should also draft his primary backup, Samaje Perine. But Perine has no stand-alone value and would be nothing more than an insurance policy—and probably a bad one, since Perine would have a hard time matching Brown's numbers even if he inherited Brown's volume.”

“With all the changes this offseason, one thing has remained consistent: Chase Brown is their lead back. On a flailing Bengals team last season, Brown finished as the fantasy RB8. Currently being drafted as the RB10, there is plenty of upside.”

“After a quiet rookie season, Brown has turned into a fantasy star. He finished as the RB10 in 2024, averaging 15.9 PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Brown was the RB7 last year, averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game despite only playing half the season with Joe Burrow. More importantly, he has been a touchdown machine on a high-powered offense, totaling 11 scores in back-to-back years.”

“One of my concerns for rostering Chase Brown was, "are they going to add another running back?" The concerns were squashed when they didn't add anyone through free agency or the draft. With the backfield all to himself, Brown feels like an extremely safe pick. From Week 6 on, Brown was the RB7, averaging 17.3 FPPG and 100 total yards per game.”
