News: 5 days agoHall rushed 19 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

Spin: Hall capitalized on a muffed punt by Atlanta in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run on the next play. His third rushing touchdown of the season opened the scoring, and after losing their previous 10 games when scoring first, the Jets avoided tying a dubious NFL record by avoiding an 11th such loss. Hall got all 19 of the carries among Jets running backs in the win, and his versatile skill set should earn him another heavy workload in Week 14 against a Dolphins defense that has struggled to stop the run.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The 2024 season was a major disappointment for the Jets and that also applies to Hall's fantasy output. The 2022 second-round pick was a clear-cut fantasy RB1 during his first two seasons (eighth in PPG in 2022, sixth in 2023) prior to falling to 17th in 2024. Hall remained a clear lead back (only four RBs played more snaps) and was a force as a receiver (top 5 in routes, targets, catches and yards for the second season in a row), but pedestrian efficiency and rushing volume kept him outside the top 12 RBs in touches, yards and TDs. Hall is a good back and in his prime at age 24, so there's certainly so post-hype appeal in a new scheme with Justin Fields in at quarterback, but it's also likely that he'll share more work with Braelon Allen. Hall is best as a mid-range RB2.
