Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Troy Franklin

NFL teams are monitoring the 0-7 New York Jets ahead of this year's trade deadline, and names that teams are keeping an eye on include running back Breece Hall, wide receiver Allen Lazard, and defenders Quincy Williams, Jermaine Johnson II, Will McDonald IV, and Michael Carter II, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. "There's an element of trying to figure out who are Glenn's guys are and who aren't. Remember when Detroit suddenly traded T.J. Hockenson? A building block from the last regime is not going to be a guaranteed building block in this one," one source said. The Jets' 2025 season has already gone off the rails in Glenn's first year at the helm, and it appears that quarterback Justin Fields will be benched going into Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor. Hall hasn't been bad as the Jets' RB1, but their lack of a passing attack has led to defenses stacking the box to stop him. He would almost certainly benefit from a change of scenery from a fantasy standpoint.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin falls to the third option for Broncos quarterback Bo Nix while facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. He caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles. Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram were first and second on the team with 10 and six targets. While Franklin has seemed to be on the field the second most out of any of the receiving group, the 22-year-old has been underwhelming for fantasy lineups since his explosive outing in Week 2. With Broncos head coach Sean Payton preferring taller wide receivers, this could be one of the primary reasons Franklin has been on the field more than anyone else. Still, he will need to capitalize on his opportunities more frequently before he can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Franklin is a boom or bust FLEX option in a plus matchup against the New York Jets in Week 6.
