Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Isaac Guerendo

There has been confidence from the New York Jets and running back Breece Hall that they can reach a long-term contract extension before the deadline in mid-July, but The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt still thinks there's a "60-40" chance that Hall signs a deal versus playing on the franchise tag in 2026. General manager Darren Mougey's general philosophy is to hold off on extension talks until after free agency and the draft, so it's unlikely that the two sides agree on anything until May or later. The Jets must decide if it's worth it to them to pay an RB significant money on a long-term deal, and Hall must also decide if he wants to stay in New York long-term. The 24-year-old is a complete back and had a career-high 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 243 carries in 2025 while adding 36 catches for 350 yards and another score in 16 games. However, he finished as just the RB19 in half-PPR scoring, and his overall ceiling in fantasy could remain low as more of an RB2 while the Jets' offense, which quarterback Geno Smith will lead in 2026, continues to hold him hostage.
