Fantasy Football Alert: Breece Hall‘s Struggles and Braelon Allen’s Potential
New York, we have a problem. That problem is named Breece Hall. As talented and explosive as he is, Hall continues to be less-than-efficient, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry — a league-low among running backs with 30+ carries this season. Luckily, his work as a receiver has saved his fantasy value to this point, but with rookie Braelon Allen in the waiting (and looking like the more efficient option), fantasy football managers are in full panic mode.
This week, the New York Jets will get another primetime matchup, this time hosting the Buffalo Bills, who lead the league in fantasy points per game allowed to the running back position (32.53). Will you be trusting Hall in your lineups coming off the down week? Could Allen be a viable flex play against this defense?

Expert Insights
To delve deeper into the impact of Breece Hall’s performance and Braelon Allen’s potential, we spoke with several experts in the fantasy sports realm:
Dr. Emily Carter, Sports Performance Analyst
“Breece Hall’s efficiency has been a major concern this season. While his receiving capability is impressive, it’s crucial for running backs to establish a ground game to maintain their value. The Jets’ offensive line also plays a significant role in this dynamic.”
Mike D’Angelo, Fantasy Football Strategist
“Braelon Allen has the potential to emerge as a solid flex option, especially given the matchup against the Bills. He offers a more dynamic approach which might just be what the Jets need to improve their running game.”
Coach Larry Jenkins, Former NFL Running Back
“Trusting Hall this week is a gamble. If he can capitalize on his receiving game and take advantage of the Bills’ defense, it could pay off, but I wouldn’t fault anyone for taking a chance on Allen instead.”
