Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Jerome Ford

Wednesday, December 10, 1:13 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday due to knee soreness, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets could be giving Hall some rest late in the season, but it's definitely something we'll be monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars approaches. If the 24-year-old is limited in any way or ruled out for this weekend, Isaiah Davis would become a plug-and-play RB option for fantasy managers as the Jets' No. 1 back. Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert could also be involved in the backfield. However, with undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook potentially making his first NFL start in Week 15, all of New York's offensive skill players would need to be downgraded this weekend. Going into Week 15, Hall is the RB17 in half-PPR points with 877 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and 309 receiving yards and another score.

The Cleveland Browns have placed running back Jerome Ford (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. With only four games remaining, Ford's season will come to an end after suffering a shoulder injury during Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old totaled 24 carries for 73 yards to go with 26 receptions (32 targets) for 103 yards in 13 games this season as Cleveland's primary passing-down back. His role gradually faded as the season went along, playing just 21.8% of the offensive snaps since Week 7. Rookie Quinshon Judkins will continue to lead Cleveland's backfield, while rookie Dylan Sampson will be the main beneficiary of Ford's absence and should be considered as a waiver-wire pickup in deep PPR leagues this week as RB depth.
