1. Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets (vs. GB)

Breece Hall has officially vaulted himself into RB1/2 territory in fantasy football. He’s fiercely taken the starting role from Michael Carter and has displayed his elite dual-threat talents. He’s the overall RB9 in PPR leagues, and he’s averaging 97.6 scrimmage yards per game, which leads all rookie running backs. His touches have also increased in every game so far this season.

Hall gets a dream matchup this week against the Green Bay Packers’ 21st-ranked run defense which just got scorched by Saquon Barkley. They’ve allowed the 16th-most fantasy points to running backs, and have seemingly been getting worse rather than better. Hall has established himself as a legitimate fantasy option, and this week will be a smash spot for him. He needs to be in all lineups this week.
