News: 7 days agoHall is among the Jets' key skill players not slated to see action against the Commanders in Saturday's preseason opener, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: The same applies to QB Aaron Rodgers, WRs Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, Xavier Gipson and Allen Lazard, as well as TEs Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert. In Hall's absence, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, Israel Abanikanda, Deon Jackson and Xazavian Valladay are available to handle backfield duties against Washington.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hall appeared fully recovered from his ACL tear by the end of the 2023 season. He was one of the few bright spots in a struggling Jets offense that was without future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. From Week 5 on, Hall was no longer on a snap count and his usage increased significantly, as he averaged 20.5 touches and 20.2 fantasy points per game over the final 13 games. Despite the Jets' offense ranking 29th in run block win rate, Hall consistently produced and also led all running backs in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Hall's potential is even greater with Rodgers hopefully under center for the entire 2024 season. Fantasy managers should feel confident drafting him as the second running back off the board, behind Christian McCaffrey.
