Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Marvin Mims Jr.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall sounds pretty motivated to prove himself as one of the top backs in the NFL going into the 2025 season. "We have a great running back room," Hall said, "but my mentality is every day I'm going to prove that I am the best back on this roster and one of the best backs in the league." The former second-rounder in 2022 out of Iowa State fell short of 1,000 yards rushing in his third year in the NFL with 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 209 carries while adding 57 catches for 483 yards and another three TDs in 16 starts in another disappointing year for the Jets. Hall said his knee also wasn't 100% last year. The Jets have both Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis pushing for bigger roles, but if Hall can stay healthy and the offense can improve under new QB Justin Fields, it's definitely possible for Hall to have a career year. He's on the RB1/2 borderline in fantasy.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is aiming for another trip to the Pro Bowl. "When you're hitting a streak, why not keep it going," said Mims, referring to his two Pro Bowl selections in his first two years in the National Football League. "I'm excited." Without question, his contributions as a return specialist can't be denied. However, fantasy managers hope he'll make more noise for his accomplishments on the receiving end. The 23-year-old looked better in his sophomore campaign, finishing with 39 receptions for 503 yards and six touchdowns. The Broncos added J.K. Dobbins and Evan Engram this offseason, two players who will command attention from second-year signal-caller Bo Nix. Courtland Sutton is still on the roster and is coming off his first 1,000-yard receiving season since 2019. With that said, it's still reasonable to assume Mims could remain involved and improve even more this season, so he'll be worth considering in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.
