Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Malik Nabers

Saturday, July 26, 3:12 PM

After a lackluster campaign in 2024, New York Jets running back Breece Hall has his eyes set on proving his worth ahead of the 2025 season. The Iowa State product told reporters on Saturday that he has a chip on his shoulder and feels that it's his "last chance" to demonstrate his abilities. "We got a new head coach (Aaron Glenn), new GM (Darren Mougey)," said Hall. "Obviously, I wasn't drafted by them, I'm not their guy. So for me, like I said, I've got to prove it every day." The talk of a running back-by-committee has been loud this offseason, but the 24-year-old isn't letting that deter him from vying for a workhorse role. Hall has the talent to do so, and could be in store for a bounce-back season with quarterback Justin Fields (toe) at the helm. The added threat of Fields in the running game would benefit the fourth-year pro. However, his new signal-caller will need to get past his recent toe injury. Hall is a strong pick as a high-upside RB2.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder) is expected to practice on Thursday. However, the former LSU standout could potentially be limited at times during the session. Head coach Brian Daboll said, "We'll put him out there and he'll do what he can do," and that the team "has a plan." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback later in training camp. Nabers left Tuesday's practice session early due to this shoulder injury. However, seeing him cleared to return in any capacity is a very positive sign. During his rookie season, the former sixth overall pick immediately flashed immense upside at the NFL level, tallying 1,204 yards and seven scores. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all formats, entering the 2025 season.
