Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Breece Hall

Friday, September 29, 11:02 AM

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson said they were effectively on a snap count in their first game back on Thursday night in the 34-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. Jones had just five carries for 18 yards and caught one of two targets for a four-yard loss, while Watson hauled in two of his four targets for 25 yards, saving his fantasy day with a wide-open touchdown. Jones was making his first appearance since Week 1, while Thursday night's game was the first of the year for Watson, so fantasy managers shouldn't have been all that surprised that both players didn't play a big part, especially in a game that was never really close all night. Expect more involvement from both in next week's game on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Wednesday that the team will not limit running back Breece Hall's (knee) workload moving forward. The Jets plan was always to ease Hall into the fold early this year after he tore his ACL last October, which is partly why they added Dalvin Cook in the offseason. Hall didn't play over 49 percent of the offensive snaps in the first four weeks and was limited to 32 touches. Cook isn't just going to go away, but the 22-year-old Hall should see his workload steadily increase, starting in Week 4 in Denver against the Broncos, which will inevitably give the explosive second-year back a higher fantasy ceiling on a weekly basis. However, Hall's overall upside could be somewhat capped as long as quarterback Zach Wilson is running the offense.
