Kevin Szafraniec examines the rookie year and future outlook of a dynamic running back who could experience a similar spike in production to what we saw from Breece Hall during his second NFL season.
Breece Hall came into the NFL with plenty of hype back in 2022. Over the first seven weeks of his NFL career, Hall was delivering on his lofty expectations, picking up more steam with each successive week. Sadly, a torn ACL and meniscus derailed his debut before the year was halfway over.
Despite Hall’s shortened rookie season, his dynamic upside was still apparent. He posted a 13% target share in his active games and ranked as the PPR RB7 prior to going down. Hall then returned with a vengeance in 2023, fully realizing his potential with an overall RB2 season.
This past season, we witnessed another talented RB enter the league and start to live up to expectations, only for his year to get derailed by injuries. But just like Hall back in 2023, all the ingredients are there for this 2025 rookie to have a massive bounce back in Year 2, with an ascension to elite fantasy status being firmly within his range of outcomes.
