• Hall is the best receiving back in the league. The New York Jets running back was a top-notch receiver last year, not just in terms of quantity but efficiency.
• The Jets' rebuilt offense looks great on paper: Aaron Rodgers And while a new offensive line could help propel Breece Hall to new heights, he will still be relying on two 33-year-old offensive tackles and a 40-year-old quarterback.

Player Performance
Hall's production as a receiver last season made him one of the best options at the position. He finished the season with an 88.9 receiving grade, the best among the backs, and also led the position in receptions despite only being eighth in route running.
It wasn't until October that he began to see receiving production, with just two receptions through the first three weeks of the season.
But his rushing attempts were inconsistent, with just four attempts under 10 over the final eight weeks of the season, but he ran for the ball 37 times in Week 18. He was considered a pretty good runner, but the stats didn't always back it up.
Hall excels on perfectly blocked plays, but oddly enough, he averaged more yards per carry against stacked boxes (eight or more defenders in the box) than he did against light boxes (seven or fewer).
Luckily, fantasy football values receiving over carries, so his receiving and rushing combination was good enough to finish as the RB2 overall.
If he can continue to run 20 routes per game with a 27% target rate (efficiency) and 13 carries per game, he could definitely be an RB2 if he stays healthy. He'd need to increase his rushing attempts by about three per game to get into the RB1 conversation, which would put him at a similar usage rate to Christian McCaffrey.
