Breece Hall (quad) remains week to week

Braelon Allen will once again be in line to lead the Jets’ backfield with Hall sidelined for a second consecutive week. Hall did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and will presumably be a DNP again on Friday, now that he has been ruled out ahead of practice. Allen saw 100 percent of the Jets’ running back opportunities last week, rushing 14 times for 59 scoreless yards while adding two receptions for an additional eight yards on two targets. He’ll be a fringe RB1/RB2 in what should be another high-volume day for the third-year back.

Allen accounted for every running back rushing attempt for New York with Breece Hall (quad) sidelined. He also ran a route on 14 of the team’s 19 drop backs on a low-volume day for the Jets offense. It’s fantastic usage, even if it didn’t amount to much in the lopsided affair. Allen should remain in lineups next week against the Browns if Hall remains out. His pass game involvement could give Allen plenty of weekly upside for now.

Mitchell will miss another game with his finger injury and Hall will be sidelined with a quad injury he sustained last week against the Lions. Garrett Wilson, with Mitchell out, should continue dominating air yards and targets in the balanced Jets offense. Braelon Allen will take over as New York’s lead back for now and should be in all fantasy lineups against a suspect Chicago run defense. Kenyon Sadiq has some streaming appeal with Mitchell out.

Hall was initially mentioned as being week-to-week when he was diagnosed with his quad injury, so he was never really considered a candidate to play in Week 4 despite the team waiting until the end of the week to rule him out. With Hall out, the Jets will look to Braelon Allen to handle most of the backfield duties. Allen will profile as a solid RB2 candidate with a chance for more upside in what could be a high-volume day against the Bears. In addition to Hall, the Jets also ruled out OG Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) for Week 4.

A “Week-to-week” designation leaves us struggling to see any way that Hall plays this week. Braelon Allen should be a reasonable RB2 in Hall’s absence. Hall will likely be questionable at best for Week 5.

Hall went down with a quad injury on Sunday against the Lions and did not return to the game. Braelon Allen took over as the Jets’ lead back, a role he’ll likely continue to occupy in Week 4 against the Bears’ gettable rush defense if Hall is sidelined. Allen should be rostered in all leagues and could be a top-20 option in Week 4.

According to Rapoport, Hall received “good news after the MRI” he received after he suffered a thigh injury in the Jets’ Week 3 loss to the Lions. It doesn’t sound like Hall will be in line to suit up for Week 4’s game against the Bears, but he could avoid being placed on IR if the Jets believe he can return in less than four weeks. Braelon Allen will presumably take over as the Jets’ lead back during Hall’s absence, while Isaiah Davis could also see some work on offense after playing primarily on special teams through the first three weeks of the season. Allen has rushed 19 times for 61 yards and a touchdown this season while also tallying four receptions for 11 yards. He will border on the RB2/RB3 range in Week 4 against the Bears.

Hall exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Lions and did not return to the field after being ruled out quickly. Braelon Allen went on to handle backfield duties for the remainder of the game and will be a top waiver wire add this week if Hall were to miss any time. Hall has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this season, rushing for 51-163-1 (3.2 YPC), but has caught all 10 of his targets for 102 scoreless yards. Allen would be a fringe RB2/RB3 in Week 4 against the Bears if Hall is held out.

Breece Hall suffered a thigh injury late in this game and did not return, leaving Allen as the lead back for the Jets’ final two drives. He touched the ball six times on the pair of drives. Fellow backup Isaiah Davis did not touch the ball once. His role would likely grow if Hall misses time, but Allen is the clear target in his backfield on waivers. Allen would push for an RB2 ranking if Hall is sidelined for Week 4 against the Bears.

Hall was thrown to the ground on a red zone carry early in the fourth quarter and immediately grabbed at his thigh. He was slow to get up and left for the medical tent. The team ruled Hall out rather quickly, possibly signaling that the injury is serious. Braelon Allen will see the bulk of the touches for the remainder of the game.
