Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Quentin Johnston

New York Jets running back Breece Hall rushed for 81 yards on 14 carries and caught five of his six targets for 30 yards on Monday night against Miami. Hall handled the most rushes on the team after Braelon Allen (knee) was injured in the first quarter. The 20 total opportunities for Hall, rushes plus targets, are the most since he had 21 in Week 1 against Pittsburgh. He had only 12 and 13 opportunities in Weeks 2 and 3, where he was also largely ineffective. That number should stay near the 20 mark if Allen were to miss any extended amount of time. Hall has looked healthy and explosive this season, and now, with potentially a full workload again, he could be getting ready to take off. The rushing efficiency will be there with the threat of Justin Fields, but he does limit the receiving upside for his running backs. Hall should still be viewed as a high upside RB2 moving forward if Allen is out.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was one of the few bright spots in the team's 21-18 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. He continued to deliver, leading the team with eight catches on 13 targets for 98 yards while scoring his fourth touchdown of the season. Johnston is now the WR3 overall in PPR formats, becoming the breakout star fantasy managers hoped for when he was drafted in the first round in 2023. His size and downfield ability make him Justin Herbert's top big-play target so far this season. Johnston now faces a Washington Commanders' defense that has struggled against the pass, setting up another big opportunity for the wideout. With consistent volume and scoring upside, Johnston should be treated as a strong WR2 with WR1 potential in Week 5.
