Breece Hall Injured, Latest on Jets RB After Exit vs. Lions & Braelon Allen Fantasy Outlook

The New York Jets ruled out running back Breece Hall for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions with a thigh injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

That leaves Braelon Allen atop the depth chart at the position, with Isaiah Davis also available.

Hall, 25, suffered the injury after being tackled and twisted out of bounds, near the end zone, during the fourth quarter. He appeared to land hard on his right leg. He had rushed 13 times for 32 yards and caught three passes for 23 yards before the injury.

He has been clearly atop the pecking order in New York's backfield this season and was putting up low-end RB1 numbers. That makes his potential loss a big one for both the Jets and fantasy players who drafted him.

It could open the door for Allen from a fantasy perspective, however, making him a must-add player on waivers this week. Coming into Sunday he had rushed for 457 yards and four touchdowns in 23 career games across parts of three seasons in what has primarily been a complementary role to Hall.

Allen is rostered in just 18 percent of Yahoo leagues, so he likely will be available. Anybody will Hall on the roster has to prioritize him on waivers, but if you are low on options at the running back or flex, he's a fantastic target.

Granted, much will depend on Hall's injury status. If he's not slated to miss any time, Allen loses any value beyond his status as a handcuff. But if Hall is looking at a longer-term stint on the sidelines, Allen is going to be the most popular addition in fantasy football this week. Consider him a very solid flex option if he's forced into starting duty.
