Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Breece Hall

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that contract talks were "still fluid." "Nothing has been resolved yet. It's still an ongoing situation." After a career year in 2024 in which Smith set franchise records for the tight end position, he's angling for an extension heading into the final year of his deal in 2025 and was a no-show at mandatory minicamp as a result. Miami would like to retain the 29-year-old, but if the two sides can't get something done before the start of the regular season this fall, it's possible that he'll be traded. Smith finished last year with 88 receptions for 884 yards and eight touchdowns, ironically with Miami's offense taking a step back overall. If he remains in South Beach this year, Smith should remain a big part of the offense, but fantasy managers should probably expect a step back as a midrange TE1.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall sounds pretty motivated to prove himself as one of the top backs in the NFL going into the 2025 season. "We have a great running back room," Hall said, "but my mentality is every day I'm going to prove that I am the best back on this roster and one of the best backs in the league." The former second-rounder in 2022 out of Iowa State fell short of 1,000 yards rushing in his third year in the NFL with 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 209 carries while adding 57 catches for 483 yards and another three TDs in 16 starts in another disappointing year for the Jets. Hall said his knee also wasn't 100% last year. The Jets have both Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis pushing for bigger roles, but if Hall can stay healthy and the offense can improve under new QB Justin Fields, it's definitely possible for Hall to have a career year. He's on the RB1/2 borderline in fantasy.
