Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Dameon Pierce

Sunday, October 12, 12:35 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall rushed for just 59 yards on 22 carries during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the Denver Broncos. He was not targeted in the passing game. While Hall set a season-high in rushing attempts and total touches, his overall production was relatively disappointing as he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry. In addition to struggling as a ball carrier, it was equally frustrating for managers to watch Hall have no role as a pass catcher. All of New York's offense struggled in the defeat, totaling a mere 82 yards as a unit. The 0-6 Jets will look to get back on track ahead of a softer matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had previously been a healthy scratch and hasn't seen the field since the season opener. While this week's development is a step in the right direction for Pierce, his exact role remains unclear. Houston has a very crowded backfield with Nick Chubb and Woody Marks atop the depth chart, as well as British Brooks, Dare Ogunbowale, and Pierce in depth roles. The former Florida product should be avoided in all fantasy leagues as long as the rest of his fellow running backs stay healthy.
