BREECE HALL, RB, NEW YORK JETS
[FPG: 13.8, XFP: 16.2, DIFF: -2.4]
Hall is looking like a priority trade target, a top positive regression candidate, and one of the top DFS values on the week.

Hall currently ranks 19th in FPG (13.8), but also 8th in XFP/G (16.2).

He ranks 2nd among all RBs in targets per game (7.0), behind only Austin Ekeler (7.5). And that’s also sort of underselling it. Hall is averaging 0.5 deep targets per game; the same amount as D.J. Moore and Drake London. And he’s averaging 31.3 air yards per game. That’s more than double the next-closest RB. And that would also be the most by any RB since at least 2007, on pace to break David Johnson’s record of 487 air yards in 2016 (30.4 air yards per game).

Hall only ranks 36th in snap share (48%) and 35th in RB carry share (49%), but he ranks 7th among all RBs in target share (13.4%). So, at the very least, it appears he’s cemented his role as the team’s preferred pass-catching back. This is important because, remember, targets are worth 2.5X as much as a carry for RBs in PPR leagues (and 3.0X outside of the red zone). And then there’s massive upside beyond that if he continues to steal more work as a runner – and it certainly does appear as though we’re headed in that direction.

Last week Hall earned 17 of 26 carries (65%) and 6 of 9 targets out of the backfield (67%). This was over double Hall’s prior high in carries, and the first time he’s out-carried Michael Carter this season. Hall’s snap share has now climbed in three straight weeks: 26% to 51% to 67% in Week 4.

In back-to-back games, Hall has finished top-5 among all RBs in XFP. Over this span, he’s handled 87% of the backfield XTD, 70% of the backfield XFP (11th-most), and 26.8% of the team XFP (6th-most).

In the near term, Hall is your No. 1 volume-related value at the RB position (3.0X), priced as just the RB29 on DraftKings ($5,400). He gets a neutral at-worst matchup this week, against a backup QB and a Miami defense that’s given up the 3rd-most receiving FPG to opposing RBs (13.3).

In the longer term, Hall really could be a league-winner if this usage trend continues

Kyle Pitts has basically had two good games in his career for fantasy at this point. And they came in Week 5 vs. the Jets (26.9 FP) and in Week 7 vs. the Dolphins (23.3 FP) last year.

Across his 18 other career games – excluding the Jets and Dolphins’ contests from last year – Kyle Pitts is averaging 8.4 fantasy points per game.

Since his blowup game against the Dolphins in Week 7 last year, Pitts is averaging 7.8 fantasy points per game across his last 15 contests.

Pitts has finished as a top-10 fantasy TE just five times in his 21 game career.

Now, to be fair, Pitts isn’t a ponzi scheme. He’s a good player who is not being used well…

I have no good answer as to why, but Kyle Pitts only ran a route on 65% of the Falcons pass plays in Week 4.


current regime just not using Pitts how we wanted, not sure itll change

I’d love to blame the coaching staff for the offense's limitations in the opening month, but I believe most of the blame is on Baker Mayfield. He is the worst starting QB in football at this point. He’s worse than Justin Fields, too, because at least Fields is athletic and can run.

Mayfield’s completion rate is -7.8% below expectation. Only Fields (-12.1%) is worse.

A whopping 62.5% of Mayfield’s total passing yardage has come after the catch, which is the second-highest rate in the league.

Mayfield leads the league in percentage of throws that are batted down at the line of scrimmage (8%).

Mayfield has completed just 51.9% of his throws on plays where he has not been blitzed, which is last in the league.

Mayfield has taken a sack on 7.7% of his dropbacks when he has not been blitzed, which is fifth-from-last.

DJ Moore ranks 67th-of-73 WRs in catchable targets (62.1%) among receivers with at least 15 targets.

However, Moore’s average depth of target (7.4 yards) is much lower than the six receivers with worse catchable target rates. He’s easily dealt with the worst QB play of any starting WR so far.

omeo Doubs and Allen Lazard emerged as the Packers clear-cut top WRs last week. Doubs ran 32 routes (87% share) and Lazard ran 29 routes (78%).

Aaron Rodgers’ trust in Romeo Doubs is clearly growing. Doubs leads the team in targets (16) and first read target share (29.5%) over the last two weeks.

The Packers are working to get the ball in Doubs’ hands as 37.5% of his targets have been designed for him over the last two weeks.

but a trend is emerging that Rhamondre Stevenson is the clear-cut lead back…

Over the last three weeks, Stevenson has out-snapped Damien Harris by a 33 to 21 margin when the Patriots have been leading.

Stevenson has out-snapped Harris by a 55 to 30 margin when trailing over the last three weeks.

That didn’t take long. Breece Hall has officially broken through and taken over this backfield. His snaps (27% > 51% > 66%) have taken huge leaps over the last three weeks.

Hall handled 59% of the carries in Week 4, a season-high by far.

Hall also took over on passing downs, running 26 routes to Carter’s 15.

After a bad Week 1, Robert Woods has a strong 26% target share over his last three games. He’ll be a huge part of this passing attack with Treylon Burks (foot) sidelined.

It was just a Wednesday practice. Not important for St. Brown. Would like to see him do something limited on Thursday. But if he can get on the practice field Friday he's likely to give it a shot Sunday.

I didn’t understand the hype surrounding dj moore coming into the season at all. A lot of “experts” had him as a break out candidate including Matt Berry. It’s like they all forgot how irrelevant baker made obj. He’s horrible.

The #Lions will likely be without RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) for this week's game against the Patriots, per source. Plan is still for him to return after the bye (Week 7), barring unforeseen development.

I currently have Elijah Mitchell in my IR spot, but I also have C. Patterson…

Are y’all holding onto Mitchell? Worth a stash? I’m trying to figure out what to do with these two guys.
