Breece Hall News
Saturday, September 12, 7:47 AM
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is set for Sunday's opener at Tennessee after recovering from a groin strain that interrupted his preseason. Hall practiced fully during the week and carries no injury designation, with offensive coordinator Frank Reich indicating that the Jets plan to use him normally. Hall is coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season, finishing 2025 with 1,065 yards and four touchdowns on 243 carries while adding 36 catches for 350 yards and another score. Tennessee allowed 21 rushing touchdowns last season and will be without linebacker Cedric Gray, who has been ruled out with a concussion. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis are both available behind Hall, keeping some competition in the backfield. RotoBaller ranks Hall RB16 for Week 1, making him a strong RB2 with RB1 upside in a favorable scoring matchup.

Jaleel McLaughlin News
Tuesday, September 1, 5:11 PM
Veteran running back Jaleel McLaughlin has signed a practice-squad deal with the Cleveland Browns, per an announcement from the team. McLaughlin spent the first three years of his NFL career with the Denver Broncos, but he fell out of the team's regular running back rotation in 2025 and was waived by Denver on Sunday. The Browns have a pair of second-year running backs atop their depth chart in Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. However, McLaughlin could potentially work his way into the backfield mix in Cleveland in the case of an injury. The 25-year-old has been efficient when given the opportunity to this point in his pro career, recording 1,356 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 285 touches across 41 career NFL games (nine starts). McLaughlin is not roster-worthy yet, but he could be a name to monitor on the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues.
