Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Breece Hall

Tuesday, June 10, 9:06 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) was taking part in the team's mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday. After missing voluntary organized team activities recently, Kamara is back on the field with the Saints. The 29-year-old five-time Pro Bowler missed the final three games of the 2024 season with a groin injury, but he looks to be over the injury and should be a full-go for training camp this summer. The former third-rounder (67th overall) in 2017 surprisingly has never topped 1,000 yards rushing in his eight NFL campaigns, but he makes up for it in fantasy with his pass-catching prowess. Kamara has had at least 47 receptions in all eight seasons, which gives him a higher fantasy ceiling than most, especially in PPR leagues. Even though the Saints' offense could be mediocre given their QB situation, Kamara should be in play as an RB2 given his expected volume.

When asked about the possibility of the New York Jets using a committee at running back this year, Breece Hall said, "I'm not obligated to anything. I've got to go and prove that I am the guy. I feel like I am a three-down back. Every day I'm going to prove I'm the best back on this roster and one of the best backs in the league." Hall will most definitely be a big part of the Jets' offense under new head coach Aaron Glenn, but he could lose touches to both Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis if he doesn't take a step forward in 2025. The 24-year-old had 209 carries for 876 rushing yards (career-low 4.2 yards per carry) and five touchdowns in 16 starts, adding 57 catches for 483 yards and three more scores. Hall's fantasy stock is definitely down, but his pass-catching prowess gives him a high floor, and he could be an excellent value pick in 2025 as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2.
