Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or RJ Harvey

Saturday, November 29, 12:21 AM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall found little room to run against the Ravens in Week 12, although it was inspiring to see him be more involved in the passing game. Hall reeled in all four of his targets for 75 yards - his most looks and receptions in a game since Week 5, and his most receiving yards in a contest all season. Hopefully, the switch to quarterback Tyrod Taylor will produce more outcomes like this over the campaign's final stretch, boosting the fourth-year pro's weekly floor. For Week 13, at least, Hall will be afforded a far more exploitable rush defense in the visiting Atlanta Falcons. On the season, Atlanta has been a favorable matchup for RBs, yielding the fourth-most fantasy points per outing (24.76) and the seventh-most rush yards per game (133.1) to the position. If the 24-year-old can retain his elevated role in the pass attack, he'll be in store for a productive afternoon. Hall is RotoBaller's PPR RB15 ahead of Week 13.

When asked on Wednesday about running back RJ Harvey, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton hinted that the rookie has not yet been fully unleashed and has a "rare running skill set." "There's that saying, 'You haven't seen anything yet,'" Payton noted to reporters. The 24-year-old has kept his fantasy value afloat with touchdowns while finding little room to work on the ground. Fortunately, Harvey has carved out a decent role in the passing game, picking up at least three targets in all but four outings. Payton's insinuation suggests the rookie is set to take off like a rocket ship, but he'll need to improve his efficiency as a rusher before that becomes a reality. Even with all that said, Harvey's workload has remained steady, and he has the athletic profile to be a successful NFL and fantasy asset. Look for him to continue improving this Sunday in a road clash with the Raiders. He's a high-end RB2 for that outing.
