Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or James Cook

Sunday, October 12, 12:35 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall rushed for just 59 yards on 22 carries during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the Denver Broncos. He was not targeted in the passing game. While Hall set a season-high in rushing attempts and total touches, his overall production was relatively disappointing as he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry. In addition to struggling as a ball carrier, it was equally frustrating for managers to watch Hall have no role as a pass catcher. All of New York's offense struggled in the defeat, totaling a mere 82 yards as a unit. The 0-6 Jets will look to get back on track ahead of a softer matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook will face one of his toughest challenges of the season when he takes on Atlanta's sixth-ranked run defense on Monday night. The Falcons have excelled at controlling time of possession and limiting offensive opportunities, though they've allowed a 44.7% scoring rate on drives, leaving the door open for Cook to find the end zone. The third-year back is averaging 107.8 scrimmage yards and one touchdown per game, but he's coming off a sluggish performance against New England's opportunistic defense. While Cook's volume and role in Buffalo's high-powered offense keep him in RB1 territory, fantasy managers should temper expectations--his Week 6 success will likely hinge on finding pay dirt against a disciplined Falcons front.
