New York Jets RB Braelon Allen (knee) said Saturday, June 13, that he is back to 100 percent after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Head coach Aaron Glenn said he wants to employ a "three-headed monster" in the backfield, and that was the plan last season before Allen's injury. RBs Breece Hall, the starter, and Isaiah Davis are the other backs in the equation. Allen also added that he hopes kick returns, which is how he hurt his knee, are going to be a thing of the past.
Huddle Up: Allen is likely going to have a role in the offense, but after shelling out big bucks to Hall, expect the Jets to get their money's worth on the starter. Still, there is likely a role for Allen to see something like 10-12 total touches per game, and he might be in the RB4/5 neighborhood for fantasy managers on draft day, especially as a handcuff for those who also select Hall.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall is expected to have plenty of company in the backfield, as head coach Aaron Glenn said Saturday, June 13, that he is planning to use Hall, RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis as a "three-headed monster" in the backfield. He said that was the plan last season until Allen suffered an injury. However, after signing Hall to a three-year, $43.5 million, it's still likely Hall will see his fair share of touches.
Huddle Up: Hall should still be an RB1 in most fantasy leagues, but don't be shocked to see his total touches down a bit, with Allen getting a few more looks, if he can stay healthy. Davis is likely to factor in, too, but he won't likely be a fantasy option unless Hall or Allen go down to injury. Be careful drafting Hall this season, and make sure to have plenty of depth on hand, in case he loses a larger chunk of touches than anticipated.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall will be an important part of what the Jets do on offense, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich. "Listen, it's certainly going to be no secret or surprise to say that we're going to want to run the football, and so we'll continue to emphasize that," Reich said. "These guys ran the ball pretty well last year, so we'll build on that."
Huddle Up: Despite the team's struggles at the quarterback position, Hall managed to top 1,000 yards on the ground last year. If Geno Smith can at least provide competent play under center, it should only benefit Hall. Consider him a solid RB2 option for 2026.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $45.75 million on Friday, May 8.
Huddle Up: Hall has cemented himself firmly in the RB2 rankings ahead of 2026. He will have a sprinkling of RB1 weeks and can be one of the better RB values this season.

New York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall will receive the franchise tag after contract negotiations faltered.
Huddle Up: Hall was the RB21 in PPR leagues in 16 games last season, and he was a victim to a woeful offense last season. That could improve in 2026, but he'll still be an RB2 target in drafts.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall's representatives and the organization are continuing to actively negotiate a contract extension, according to multiple sources. Both sides would prefer to agree a long-term deal rather than use the franchise tag.
Huddle Up: Jets general manager Darren Moughey said last week that Hall would be tagged if an extension cannot be agreed upon by Tuesday, March 3. The 24-year-old had 1,515 all-purpose yards last year and can be viewed as a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 option as he enters his age-25 season.

New York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall will likely receive interest from the Denver Broncos if he hits the free-agent market, in the opinion of The Denver Post's Luca Evans.
Huddle Up: There is a good chance that Hall returns to the Jets, but he will receive interest from multiple teams if he becomes a free agent. He will start wherever he plays in 2026 and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

New York Jets general manager Darren Moughey announced that RB Breece Hall will be tagged if the team cannot reach an extension with him by the tag deadline of March 3.
Huddle Up: Hall returning to the Jets with a healthy offensive line could allow what was a promising 2025 season take a bigger step. Hall, right now, remains an RB2 but can be someone who gives you more consistent work in 2026 to emerge as an RB1 if healthy.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall would ideally be a candidate for a contract extension by the team, in the opinion of ESPN's Rich Cimini on Monday, Feb. 23.
Huddle Up: Hall put up his first 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025, his fourth season in the NFL. After a 2023 season in which Hall finished as the fantasy RB2, his receiving totals have cratered from 95 targets in 2023 down to just 48 targets last season. Despite the 1,065 yards Hall rushed for last season, he was just RB19 as Hall didn't separate from other backs with his receiving work, as he has in previous seasons. A new locale could do wonders for Hall and his future fantasy value, and he's still young as he's entering his age-25 season in 2026. Hall is valued as a high-end RB2 right now in early fantasy drafts, but he's a candidate to rise considerably up the rankings if he lands in a favorable destination in free agency.

New York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall is hoping for a deal which makes him among the top-five paid at his position, but there are no indications the team is willing to come close to offering that. The franchise tag is projected to be $14.5 million, and that's a possibility, and the transition tag at $11.7 is also a good possibility. If he leaves via free agency, the Arizona Cardinals are seen as a potential landing spot, as they're coached by former Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Hall rushed for a career-best 1,065 yards in 2025, the first 1,000-yard season of his career. His rushing touchdowns remained consistent with four scores, giving him at least four rushing touchdowns in each of his first four NFL campaigns. He will still only be 25 years old heading into 2026, and he had averaged 4.5 rushing yards per carry with 188 receptions across four seasons. If he lands in the right situation, or even ends up back in New York, he could still be a sneaky low-end RB1 in fantasy football in 2026.
