Will Breece Hall Be Ready For Training Camp?
Hall (knee) continues to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered last year in his rookie season. He had surgery on his knee about six months ago and according to the Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt, it would be a surprise if Hall was ready for Day 1 of training camp. The young RB has yet to take part in OTAs, although he has been running on the side during those sessions.
There's plenty of hope for him to play as soon as Week 1, but it's too early in the process to make that declaration. He'll be a must-start whenever he does suit up, though. If he misses time, Michael Carter, Israel Abanikanda, and Zonovan Knight will all get an opportunity to see work in the New York offense led by new quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Breece Hall 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook
With Rodgers under center instead of Zach Wilson, it's easy to get excited about the Jets' offensive play-makers. Hall finished the 2022 campaign as the RB7 in fantasy points per game (PPR), trailing only Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey, Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, and Nick Chubb. Needless to say, that's elite company for a rookie.
All that said, it's important to proceed with caution since he's coming off the injury. Even if he can play in Week 1, the team will likely ease him back and limit his workload. This could go on for just a few weeks or the entire season. Michael Carter and Zonovan Knight have proven to be serviceable backs and the rookie Israel Abanikanda is a home run hitter.
Ultimately, the upside is there for Hall, but it comes with a ton of risk. He is coming off the board around the RB11 spot in early PPR drafts. His upside is the No. 1 overall running back, but a managed workload could put him in RB2 range. Fantasy football is all about taking calculated risks though, so if your league mates are shying away from him, take the value on a potential league winner.
