Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Omarion Hampton

Saturday, November 8, 12:08 PM

The Houston Texans made calls to the New York Jets about running back Breece Hall, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The Texans were looking to make a big splash at the deadline with the Jets' star running back, but the asking price was ultimately too high for their liking. Hall was discussed in multiple trade rumors before the deadline, most commonly linked to the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Texans were apparently looking to make an upgrade to their running back room as well. Veteran Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks will continue to split reps in Houston's backfield moving forward, with neither presenting significant fantasy upside behind a poor offensive line.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) worked off to the side at Friday's practice, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hampton appears to be making progress in his recovery after an extended period with no positive updates. The rookie running back was placed on Injury Reserve after suffering an ankle injury in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that he doesn't expect Hampton's 21-day practice window to be opened until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye. Second-year back Kimani Vidal has played well in Hampton's absence and will continue to be a decent RB2/flex option until Hampton is activated from IR to take over the RB1 duties in a few weeks.
