New York Jets DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) returned to practice on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. While it's unclear whether Hall was a limited or full participant, the bottom line is that he was able to get back on the field, which is good news for the Jets and Hall's fantasy managers. He exploded for one of his best games of the season back in Week 11, rushing 16 times for 78 yards on the ground, catching seven passes for 43 receiving yards, and scoring a touchdown. If active this week versus Seattle, he'll rank as a solid RB1 option in fantasy football.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen could make his first career NFL start if Breece Hall (knee) is unable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Hall has been dealing with soreness for nearly two weeks. He won't practice Wednesday, and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich was non-committal on his status for Sunday. If Hall doesn't suit up, Allen would immediately step into a role that allows him to earn north of 15 touches against a softer Seahawks run defense. That's a significant upgrade over his current role, which only affords him 5.6 carries, 20.8 rushing yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game. Allen would rank as a low-end fantasy RB2 if he were to start Sunday.

New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis (ankle) has experienced some setbacks and is not expected to be activated from the non-football injury list before the end of the 2024 NFL season, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday. Travis suffered the injury while competing at Florida State University last season, and he was placed on the NFI list near the end of training camp. Ulbrich noted that he checks in with Travis daily, and even though his recovery isn't going as expected, the Jets' coach loves the young quarterback's work ethic and believes he can still be an impact player. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until next year before getting a glimpse of Travis in a Jets uniform. In the meantime, New York's quarterback room will continue to feature veterans Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will remain the starter as long as he stays healthy, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed Wednesday. There had previously been some chatter about a potential benching after it was reported that owner Woody Johnson proposed starting Tyrod Taylor over Rodgers. However, Ulbrich has now confirmed that the job belongs to Rodgers, barring an injury. The topic of health is an interesting one given recent rumors that Rodgers refused to undergo medical scans and was a candidate for injured reserve. Nevertheless, Ulbrich cleared the air Wednesday, saying Rodgers is healthier than he has been in several weeks. The veteran quarterback ranks as the overall QB19 in fantasy football this season, completing 241 passes for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He'll rank as a high-end fantasy QB2 heading into a somewhat favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that Hall is still dealing with soreness after he tweaked his knee back in Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts. Ulbrich is "still hopeful" that Hall will suit up this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, but he acknowledges that the Jets are in the wait-and-see phase with their star running back. Not only has Hall been productive this year, but he has also been steadily available, suiting up for all 11 games so far and playing at least 69 percent of offensive snaps in every contest. If active this week, Hall would rank as a mid-range RB1 versus the Seahawks' relatively soft defense. If he can't play, rookie Braelon Allen would step up as the Jets' top running back, ranking as a low-end fantasy RB2.
