Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Brian Robinson Jr.

Friday, October 17, 8:39 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is a candidate to see an increased workload in this Sunday's home game against the Carolina Panthers. The Iowa State product fell victim to a staunch Broncos defensive unit last weekend and will get another stiff test in Week 7 in Carolina. Hall surprisingly wasn't targeted in New York's loss to Denver, but that should change this week as the team is expected to be without wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). The Panthers' rush defense is one of the better ones in the league currently (ninth-fewest yards per game), although they haven't done well in limiting their opposition's scoring. Volume shouldn't be an issue for Hall, but an inefficient Jets' offense has held him back - and out of the end zone - through six weeks. This contest is as good as any for him to end that drought finally, though he'll take a slight step back this week with the Jets' offense not at 100%. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB14 ahead of his matchup with Carolina.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has maintained a depth role throughout the first six weeks of the 2025 NFL season, and that should remain the case this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Robinson is averaging just 4.5 carries and 0.8 receptions per game with his new team, failing to carve out any significant workload behind Christian McCaffrey. While there's no question that he is a top handcuff who could be a low-end RB1 if McCaffrey were to miss time, for now, he's a non-factor in fantasy football. Managers in deeper leagues should stash him on the bench, and managers in shallow leagues can leave him on waivers.
