Breece Hall Carries the Load in Week 1 Win

Sunday, September 13, 1:17 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall tallied 22 carries, 102 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught two passes for an additional 16 receiving yards. Fantasy managers have to be quite pleased with this season-opening performance from Hall. After finishing with modest numbers as the RB19 last year, the Jets' lead back kicked off the 2026 season by showing that he's capable of logging 20+ touches per game with great efficiency numbers. He also found the end zone, which is something he only accomplished five times in 16 games last year. The Titans were admittedly a softer matchup for Hall, and he'll get a tougher test in the form of the Green Bay Packers next week. Nevertheless, Hall is trending up as the Jets' clear workhorse back. He will climb to the low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 tier in fantasy football rankings next week.

Emeka Egbuka Ready to Roll in Week 1 Versus Bengals

Saturday, September 12, 7:30 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (toe) is expected to enter a Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals as a full-go. Egbuka logged three consecutive full practices throughout the week and does not have an injury designation for the opening week of the 2026 season. The Bengals had one of the worst passing defenses in the league in 2025, allowing 233.8 passing yards per game (26th in the NFL). There isn't much optimism that the Bengals will be much better in 2025. As a rookie in 2025, Egbuka recorded 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns. He ranks as RotoBaller's No. 23 wide receiver for Week 1, making him a strong start in all standard leagues. Egbuka is a strong start across all formats in Week 1, and an intriguing DFS option as well.
