Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or James Cook

New York Jets running back Breece Hall turned 12 carries into 18 rushing yards and secured one of his two targets for nine receiving yards in a 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots. Hall was more involved than he was in Week 2, but it didn't matter much for fantasy purposes as the Jets struggled to move the ball. Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that quarterback Zach Wilson will remain the starter for New York in Week 4, so it's difficult to be excited about Hall moving forward. The 22-year-old projects to be a flex option next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook took 15 carries for 98 yards with two catches (three targets) for an additional 14 yards in Week 3's easy 37-3 win over the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old was quiet early on, registering only 28 yards on eight first-half touches, but positive game script may have aided his path following the first half. Cook produced a few 10-yard gains thereafter, spearheading an effective day with a 34-yarder to get inside Washington's five-yard line before veteran power back Latavius Murray eventually reaped the benefits on a touchdown plunge. Though, Cook was given a chance to cash it in himself on the preceding play, and the 2022 second-rounder saw a bit more work in the red zone on Sunday than he had up until this point. Perhaps finally earning some more high-value touches, Cook will be an RB2 with plenty of upside in Buffalo's Week 4 home battle with fellow AFC heavyweight Miami Dolphins.
