Jets QB Brady Cook will start this weekend's game vs. the Saints, HC Aaron Glenn said Wednesday. We assume this means QBs Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields' injuries will keep them out again -- because there's no reason for the Jets to willingly go back to Cook. He mustered just 176 yards on 5.3 yards per attempt in the Week 15 loss to the Jaguars. RB Breece Hall is the only Jet to crack fantasy-starter territory in our Week 16 rankings.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. Reportedly dealing with knee soreness, he went from no practice on Wednesday to limited on Thursday to full participation on Friday. We’re not expecting the knee to be a factor this weekend. But Hall falls outside the top 24 in the Week 15 RB rankings with QB Brady Cook at the helm for New York.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's dealing with a sore knee but should be available for this weekend's game in Jacksonville. We'll see how Hall is listed on Friday's final injury report.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is expected to play vs. the Bengals tomorrow, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Hall played through this injury last week and practiced all this week, including a full workout on Friday, so there was never much concern about his status. If the Jets' Justin Fields-led offense can be competent, Hall packs plenty of upside against Cincinnati's 30th-ranked RB defense.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He played through this injury last week and practiced all this week, including a full workout on Friday. Hall should be ready for his usual role on Sunday, but we’ll get New York’s inactives around 11:30 am ET. RB Isaiah Davis is the RB to stash in case Hall ends up out.

The Jets will place RB Braelon Allen (knee) on IR today, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Allen's knee injury is still being evaluated, per Cimini, and surgery remains on the table. "Too early to say if it's season-ending, though this appears to be more than just a 4-week return," Cimini adds.

Update: Allen is expected to miss 8-12 weeks, HC Aaron Glenn said Friday. That puts Allen out through at least Week 12. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues.

Jets RB Braelon Allen will "likely" land on IR with an MCL sprain suffered in Monday night's loss to the Dolphins, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Allen is expected to receive additional opinions," Rapoport adds. We'll see if those additional opinions bring any better news, but expect Allen to miss multiple weeks. That'll leave the Jets backfield to Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis. Davis should pick up extra work with Allen out but will still fall short of reliable fantasy value. He's worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues, though, as he's now just one injury away from a lead job. Hall becomes a borderline RB1 with Allen sidelined.

Jets RB Braelon Allen injured his left knee in the second quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Dolphins and was ruled out a short time later. That typically suggests a relatively serious injury, but we'll update Allen's status when we know more. His absence should boost RB Breece Hall's playing time. RB Isaiah Davis could also mix in a bit more on early downs.

Jets’ third-string RB Isaiah Davis hasn’t practiced in two weeks as he recovers from an ankle injury, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

The Jets are hiring Aaron Glenn as their new HC, according to multiple reports. It's a homecoming for Glenn, who was the Jets' first-round pick back in 1994. He played eight seasons with the team, earning two Pro Bowl nods. Glenn played through the 2008 season and took his first coaching job in 2014. He was a DBs coach for the Browns and Saints before taking over as Lions DC in 2021. Detroit climbed from 31st in points allowed in Glenn's first season to seventh this past year, despite a ton of injuries. We'll see who Glenn chooses to run his offense. We've heard current Lions QBs coach Mark Brunell mentioned as a candidate. Of course, the biggest question in New York is whether QB Aaron Rodgers will return for the 2025 season. Stay tuned.

Jets RB Braelon Allen (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He put in a full practice on Friday, so he should play. RB Breece Hall was never listed on this week’s injury report, though, suggesting that he’s ready for a bigger workload. Allen isn’t a fantasy option.

Jets RB Braelon Allen is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a back injury. His absence leaves the backfield to Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis.

Update: Allen returned in the third quarter.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was listed as questionable but was a full-go in Friday’s practice. And there was optimism about his status throughout the weekend. We’d still be surprised if Hall handled his normal workload for a Jets team with nothing to play for. Remember that Hall tallied just 12 carries and one target playing through this knee injury back in Week 13. He checks in as a low-end RB2 in the Week 15 Rankings.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. "Looks good ... promising," interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said of Hall's Week 15 status on Friday. Hall did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, so it's safe to assume he's still not at 100%. We're frankly surprised that the Jets would play Hall in this meaningless game -- and would be even more surprised if he handles a big workload. Hall tallied just 12 carries and one target playing through this knee injury back in Week 13. Consider him no better than a risky RB2 in Week 15 fantasy lineups, despite the plus matchup. Hall's return knocks RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis out of consideration.

Update: Hall is listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Jets interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that RB Breece Hall is "struggling a bit" with his knee injury. “Maybe it’s not improving as much as he’d like, at this point," Ulbrich added. "We’ll see how it goes this week.” We'll keep you posted on Hall's progress over the next few days, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him playing in a meaningless game vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis split work almost right down the middle with Hall out last week.
