Breece Hall Not Expected to be on a Pitch Count

Thursday, September 10, 8:54 AM

New York Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said on Thursday that there will be no anticipated pitch count for running back Breece Hall (groin) in the Week 1 season opener this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Reich said he likes to rotate RBs anyway, but "unless AG and the training staff give us a rep count, we just go play ball." Hall should be good for his normal rep count in the season opener despite being held out of practices late in training camp due to a minor groin issue. He has practiced so far this week and should be locked into starting fantasy lineups as at least a strong RB2 option for managers to kick off the season in a new-look offense led by veteran quarterback Geno Smith. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will continue to be sprinkled in, but Hall is the Jets' clear workhorse back when he is healthy, and he should continue to see plenty of volume. The 25-year-old is coming off his first career 1,000-yard season with four rushing touchdowns on 243 carries in 2025, adding 36 receptions for 350 yards and another TD through the air in 16 starts.

Kendre Miller News

Kendre Miller Leaves Tuesday's Practice Early

Tuesday, September 1, 2:25 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (undisclosed) left Tuesday's practice early with athletic trainers, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. It is unclear exactly what Miller is dealing with or if it is something that might prevent him from being ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. But it is very notable when considering that Alvin Kamara (knee) is currently recovering from a sprained MCL that could keep him from playing in the season opener. If the 24-year-old Miller is questionable to play in Week 1, it could vault Audric Estime into the RB2 role behind starter Travis Etienne Jr. in the Saints' backfield. Miller, a third-rounder (71st overall) in 2023 from TCU, has battled injuries in his first three NFL seasons and has appeared in only 21 games (two starts), averaging 3.9 yards per carry for 497 rushing yards and three touchdowns. When New Orleans' entire backfield is healthy, Miller figures to be the RB3, but an early-season injury could open the door for Estime to jump him. Miller is currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 87 fantasy RB, so he should go undrafted in 12-team fantasy leagues.
