2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football: Breece Hall Remains Out of Practice for the Jets

Breece Hall is trending toward missing another game, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). The Jets running back did not practice Wednesday as New York began preparing for the Browns. Hall has been out since suffering a quad injury in Week 3, and the team already labeled him week-to-week at that point. Missing the first practice session of the week doesn't prove he'll sit Sunday, but it's a bad sign.

Breece Hall

Hall is listed as doubtful, and with no practice participation to start the week, expect that tag to hold — or worse. Don't start him in redraft leagues unless the end-of-week reports show a dramatic turn. In dynasty, nothing has changed: the quad injury already had him shelved for weeks, and Wednesday's absence just reinforces that timeline hasn't accelerated.

Braelon Allen

ProFootballTalk confirms Allen has been the lead back throughout Hall's absence. That's your start this week against the Browns — no ambiguity needed. If Allen isn't on your roster in a 12-team league, check the waiver wire (the priority list of unclaimed free agents) now, not Thursday night. The role is real, the opportunity is real, and Hall isn't taking it back this week.
