No. 1 Utilization Takeaway From Week 9 Is …

1. Breece Hall Returns With A 65% Opportunity Share

In Weeks 1-2 (Hall's healthy games), he averaged 17 PPG with an 81 Utilization Score: 62% snaps, 67% attempts, 39% routes, 12% targets, 58% short-yardage snaps, 85% 2-minute offense snaps.

In Week 9, he returned from a 5-game absence due to a quad injury. After strong performances from Braelon Allen over that span, concerns grew that Hall might not reclaim his early-season role.

That was partially true. Hall remained the lead ballcarrier with a 63% attempt share, carrying the rock 15 times. He was also the primary short-yardage option, controlling 67% of the short-yardage snaps (SDD). He also continued as the 2-minute RB (75%).

But he notched season-low snap shares (44%) and route shares (26%). However, his 14% target share matched his early-season numbers. He finished Week 9 with 11.7 points and a 68 Utilization Score.

In summary, the Jets prioritized getting Hall touches when on the field. He had a 65% opportunity share (attempts + targets) for the backfield. Hall's main downturn was long-down-and-distance snaps (7%), which are low-impact in fantasy.

If you are a Hall manager, you should be happy with the first data point. Allen will be involved, but Hall's 19 opportunities weren't far from his 22.5 average over the first two games. Lower snap shares bring some fragility—as much as LDD work is less important, the role still associates with targets to some degree. But the Jets appear committed to feeding Hall a fantasy-relevant role.

Plus, the team might have capped Hall's workload in his first game back. We can't rule out a snap share increase in the coming weeks. Another positive: Isaiah Davis played only special teams in Week 9. The team did not use a three-RB rotation.

Hall hasn't been very efficient on the ground in 2026, but has been exceptional in the passing game.

• Yards per attempt: 3.4 (35th among 37 RBs with 60+ attempts)
• Yards after contact: 2.0 (37th)
• 10+ yard attempts: 9.1% (21st)
• Yards per route run (YPRR): 2.51 (1st)
• Targets per route run (TPRR): 28% (2nd)

If the Jets find a way to get their best receiving RB on the field for more routes (which ties back to snaps), it would be the easiest path to improving Hall's fantasy value.

Hall has a 76 Utilization Score in his three healthy outings. His historical comparisons averaged 14.7 PPG, with 30% reaching top-12 RB status.

• RB1-6 finishes: 6% (outlier ceiling outcome)
• RB7-12: 24% (realistic ceiling outcome)
• RB13-18: 32% (high-end median outcome)
• RB19-24: 32% (low-end median outcome)
• RB25-30: 5% (outlier floor outcome)

Hall UPGRADES to mid-range RB2 status. But it could be a fluid situation as we get more data over the next few games.

Braelon Allen is a mid-range RB3.
