Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Tyjae Spears

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.

In the lowest-scoring offense (14.2 points per game) in the league, Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has a low ceiling and low floor for fantasy managers, and he should only be rostered in point-per-reception leagues. In the Week 13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Spears had two rushing attempts for a loss of one yard, but he salvaged his fantasy day by catching all six of his targets for 25 yards through the air. The 24-year-old's six catches were tied for the team lead, and his six targets were second on the team. Since returning from Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, Spears has a very modest 39 carries for 158 yards and one touchdown while adding 28 receptions for 173 yards on 30 targets in eight games. Fantasy managers cannot count on him to produce on the ground -- he's had more than five carries in a game only twice in eight games. Spears has had at least five targets in each of the last three games, though, which makes him a low-upside RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues going into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
