Breece Hall Not a Sure Thing to be Traded

Wednesday, October 29, 12:33 PM

For most of the season, it was looking like a slam dunk that New York Jets running back Breece Hall would be traded, but ESPN's Dan Graziano's sense now is that "it's no longer a sure thing." Hall is in the final year of his deal with the Jets, and the team has a pair of RBs they like behind him in Braelon Allen (knee) and Isaiah Davis. However, Allen is already out for the rest of this season, and there are people in the Jets building who are "leery of the idea of trading Hall." The 24-year-old showed in the Week 8 upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals that he's still explosive, going for 133 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and throwing a touchdown. If the Jets receive a really strong offer for Hall, they will probably take it, but he's no longer a slam dunk to be traded. Ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline, Hall's chances of being dealt could be 50-50.

James Cook Explodes for 216 Yards and Two Touchdowns in Enormous Victory

Sunday, October 26, 5:51 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries during Sunday's Week 8 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Cook had struggled in his two games prior to the Bills' bye week, but he returned from the hiatus with one of the best games of his career. He now has 753 rushing yards, 89 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns through seven games this year. It's safe to say that offseason speculation about Cook regressing was misguided. The 26-year-old continues to showcase elite rushing skills, as well as a tendency to score plenty of touchdowns. His ceiling might be a little lower next week in a neutral game script against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he's still a very strong RB1 option.
