Is Breece Hall Healthy or Injured? Will Hall Play in Week 5?

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall has lived up to the pre-draft hype, boasting his value in both the passing and rushing attacks through four games. As Zach Wilson re-joins the lineup and Hall gets more experience under his belt, the Jets' offense should continue to improve.

Unfortunately, as Week 5 gets underway, Hall finds himself on the injury report. The second-round pick out of Iowa State battled a knee injury during practice this week.

Is Breece Hall Injured or Playing in Week 5?

Hall has been dealing with a knee issue all week long. The injury forced him to be limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he upgraded to full participation on Friday.

When the Jets released their final injury report on Friday afternoon, Hall did not carry an injury designation. He has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.

Breece Hall Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 5

Hall (knee) popped up on the injury report this week, but he practiced in full on Friday and does not carry an injury designation into this weekend's game against the Dolphins. The rookie has totaled 178 rushing yards, 113 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns en route to ranking as the RB17 so far. His 28 targets are the second-highest among running backs, and he also ranks sixth in weighted opportunities (66.8).

To this point, Hall has commanded a 15.4 percent target share (seventh-most among running backs) while running 73 routes (13th-most). He owns a 59.8 PFF grade and has scored 69.4 or above in two of his four games.

Not only has Hall impressed opportunity-wise, but he has quickly solidified his stock in fantasy football, too. The rookie ranks eighth in expected fantasy points per game (15.7) and fourth in breakaway run rate (10.5 percent). This week, he faces a Miami defense that has allowed six receptions to running backs per game (fifth-most in the NFL).

Gone are the days of Michael Carter having clear superiority over Hall. The latter has quickly taken over the backfield, and while Carter is a fine FLEX option, Hall offers even more upside. He has totaled double-digit fantasy points in each of his four games and should be viewed as a solid top-24 option in fantasy football once again this week.
