Should I start Breece Hall or Ja'Kobi Lane in Week 9?

Updated Nov 4, 4:16 AM ET.

  • : Breece Hall: Questionable to Out (Quadriceps) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Ja'Kobi Lane: 63 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Breece Hall's 57 percent of the snaps and 62 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Ja'Kobi Lane for Breece Hall?

Not on these numbers alone. Ja'Kobi Lane projects 33 market-implied PPR points from Week 9 through Week 17 (4.1 a game over 8 games) and Breece Hall 34 (4.3 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Breece Hall is listed questionable.

The gap

  • Board size306 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Breece Hall, and the board ranks him 98th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Ja'Kobi Lane, and the board ranks him 100th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Breece Hall is 3.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Ja'Kobi Lane's market-based projection is 4.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 109th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.

Breece Hall's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season so far

Through Week 3, Breece Hall has been on the field for 57 percent of NYJ snaps, taken 62 percent of the carries, drawn 11 percent of the targets and had 38 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 2 of the offence's 24 third down targets, had 4 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 2 of its 19 two minute targets.

His 10 targets have averaged 0.0 air yards.

In Week 1 against TEN he carried 22 times for 102 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 16 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 2 against GB he carried 16 times for 29 yards, caught 5 of 5 targets for 63 yards and did not score.

In Week 3 against DET he carried 13 times for 32 yards, caught 3 of 3 targets for 23 yards and did not score.

Through Week 8, Ja'Kobi Lane has been on the field for 56 percent of BAL snaps, drawn 12 percent of the targets and had 15 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 9 of the offence's 39 third down targets, had 1 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 16 two minute targets.

His 14 targets have averaged 10.6 air yards.

In Week 6 against CLE he caught 4 of 5 targets for 40 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against CIN he caught 3 of 5 targets for 25 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against BUF he caught 1 of 1 target for 13 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Breece Hall played 16 games and scored 207.7 PPR points, 13.0 a game, finishing RB19.

He carried 243 times for 1065 yards and 4 touchdowns, and caught 36 of 48 targets for 350 more yards.

That came to 15.2 carries a game at 4.4 yards a carry and 2.3 catches a game.

He was on the field for 64 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Ja'Kobi Lane is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Breece Hall is a running back and Ja'Kobi Lane a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 13, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

Breece Hall is listed as out on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Breece Hall has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
