Who Should I Start? Breece Hall or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall signed a three-year extension, solidifying his position atop the depth chart going forward. There had been some questions about whether there was really a future for Hall in New York, especially after the team explored trading him last fall and gave him the franchise tag this past offseason. This new $45.75 million extension confirms their commitment to keeping him in an every-down role for years to come, taking advantage of his versatile skill set. His production dipped slightly in a subpar Jets offense last year, but he still managed to produce on the ground and through the air with 243 carries, 1,065 rushing yards, 36 catches, 350 receiving yards, and five total touchdowns. The state of New York's offense is holding him back from reaching his full potential, as he's never scored more than nine touchdowns in a single season. We expect more of the same in 2026 with Geno Smith at quarterback, but Hall (and the offense in general) could trend upward in 2027 with the anticipated arrival of a flashy rookie quarterback. A healthy Hall provides weekly RB2 stability with RB1 upside, and his price has softened in dynasty trade talks recently. Managers should consider sending out trade offers to acquire Hall at a discount, since he could return to the top-10 running back range in 2027 and 2027.
