Is Breece Hall playing today? Injury update, Braelon Allen start or sit advice for Week 7

The New York Jets have an uncertainty regarding their starting running back for the upcoming Week 7 game against the Miami Dolphins. Breece Hall, who has been out since Week 3 with a quadriceps injury, has shown some progress with two limited practices and a questionable tag on Friday. However, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport suggests that Hall is unlikely to play in the game.

He may work out before kickoff to assess his condition, but he hasn’t been a full participant yet. The article emphasizes that it’s too early to make a definitive decision about Hall’s availability.

In contrast to Hall’s situation, Braelon Allen, another Jets running back, is expected to start the game. Allen has been performing well in Hall’s absence, averaging over 41 carries, 194 yards, and a touchdown in his two games. He ranks ninth among running backs in terms of carries (RB9) and overall since taking over the starting role in Week 4 (RB18).

Given his strong performance and the Dolphins' defense allowing second-most fantasy points to backs per game, it is highly advisable to start Braelon Allen in this week's lineup.
