Jets looking for 'three-headed monster' at RB
Is Breece Hall still a RB1 candidate after Aaron Glenn's comments about the Jets' backfield?
Video Transcript
The New York Jets made Breece Hall one of the NFL's highest paid running backs this off season.
Kyle Dvorchak, you know what that means.
It's time for a three-headed monster in the backfield, apparently.
per head coach Aaron Glenn said he wants that three-headed monster with Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Isiah Davis.
Not sure I believe him after they just paid Breece Hall.
Do you believe him?
maybe if we're not getting a three-headed monster, who might be the number two back?
Just how do you envision the New York Jets backfield in 2026?
Yeah, you and I are kind of aligned on this.
I think what Aaron Glenn is saying when he says three-headed monster, fantasy managers interpret that as, "Oh, this is gonna be an absolute nightmare."
I think Glenn just likes all three of the running backs he has.
I don't think that means that we're gonna have Braelon Allen playing so much that it's a problem for Breece Hall.
I don't think you sign Breece Hall to a three-year, $43.5 million contract to do more than spell him every now and then with Braelon Allen.
And I'm sure Glenn will be happy to do so.
We saw Braelon Allen through about a month last year average four and a half carries, around a quarter of the snaps, but that's just run-of-the-mill backup stuff.
And I think he thinks Braelon Allen is a good backup.
That's all I'm reading into this so far.
Right now, I'm still absolutely drafting Breece Hall as a very clear RB1.
I think fantasy managers can still be confident it's gonna be 70, 75% of the snaps to Breece Hall, maybe even frankly 80.
I think it's just a head coach, who likes his backups.
He obviously likes his starter, otherwise they would not have paid him, and that we might get a few more annoying quotes, once the pads go on, once the practice reps are divvied out.
It's gonna be Breece Hall.
We're not worried here at Roto World.
