Breece Hall Cleared to Play in Week 1

Friday, September 11, 12:15 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (groin) is "good to go" for his team's season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hall was battling a groin injury towards the end of the preseason, but he logged full practices from Wednesday through Friday this week and appears to be a full-go in Week 1. Across 16 games in 2025, Hall recorded 1,415 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 279 touches. The 25-year-old figures to once again be one of the focal points of the Jets offense in 2026 and should see plenty of work as both a rusher and a receiver on Sunday against Tennessee. Now that he's been officially cleared to play, Hall should be viewed as a solid RB2 option by fantasy managers in Week 1.

Bucky Irving Holds Viable RB2 Value for Season Opener

Friday, September 11, 1:12 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is expected to bounce back after battling some injuries last season. Irving only played 10 games last season, but he rushed for nearly 600 yards in that span. During his rookie campaign, Irving finished as the RB13, so the Bucs are hopeful to get similar results to that in 2026. It remains to be seen how much the addition of Kenny Gainwell will impact Irving's value in the backfield. The expectation is that Gainwell will play a similar role to what Rachaad White did in years past. Irving might see a reduction in carries, but he remains a solid RB2 against a shaky Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 1. Fantasy managers should get a better idea of how the Bucs plan to use this backfield as the season goes on.
