Breece Hall and Braelon Allen appear primed to enter into a running-back-by-committee situation, hurting the fantasy value of Hall.
Breece Hall was a consensus first-round pick in all fantasy football leagues, but the Jets starting running back put up an absolute stinker in Week 4, leaving fantasy managers justifiably concerned.
That's led to speculation the Jets backfield is becoming a dreaded running-back-by-committee situation, with question marks about Hall's value the rest of the season. Hall had 10 carries for 4 yards and 2 catches for 14 yards in Week 4 while Allen had 8 carries for 34 yards and 1 catch for 12 yards. That continues a trend we saw in Week 3 when Allen got 13 touches to 20 for Hall. For context, Hall had 21 touches and Allen had just 2 in Week 1.
While that's not a full split of touches, it's trending in that direction. Throw in the fact that Allen has objectively looked more explosive with the ball and Jets coach Robert Salah said the team will consider giving Allen more touches in the red zone moving forward, and there's every reason to believe Hall has lost his grip as the everydown back in the Jets backfield.
