Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Chase Brown

Sunday, November 9, 6:27 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall was a huge factor during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He rushed the ball 21 times for 83 yards on the ground, but his biggest play came through the air. Hall took a screen pass for a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to help get his team the victory. This is now back-to-back strong fantasy performances from Hall who was sluggish there for a few games. The Jets are going to need him now more than ever with Garrett Wilson (knee) exiting this game. It's unclear if Wilson will be ready to go in time for the quick turnaround with a Thursday night matchup against the New England Patriots.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown scored a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately, he had more than a few miserable outings in his following appearances before finally surpassing the 100-yard rushing mark in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 25-year-old then had his best performance of the 2025 campaign in the Week 8 one-point loss to the New York Jets, finding the end zone twice (one rushing, one receiving). Joe Flacco (shoulder) has the offense back on track. While there's a chance Flacco won't suit up in the Week 9 clash with the Chicago Bears, it appears he's (fortunately) trending toward playing. However, even if Jake Browning finds himself back atop the depth chart, Brown should remain a high-upside option for managers, especially with the game between the Bears and Bengals projected to be one of the highest-scoring contests on the schedule. Granted, Brown's presence in all fantasy lineups isn't without risk. That will apply regardless of who is starting at quarterback.
