2026 Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Update: Breece Hall Questionable, David Bailey Doubtful vs. Raiders

Two key Jets — running back Breece Hall and edge rusher David Bailey — are both listed with uncertain status heading into Sunday's home game against Las Vegas.

The Jets are dealing with a pair of significant injury concerns heading into Week 8, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Head coach Aaron Glenn announced Friday that edge rusher David Bailey (groin) will not practice and is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Running back Breece Hall (quad) has been limited in practice all week and is questionable. Offensive lineman Dylan Parham (knee) is also questionable.

Breece Hall

Hall's quad issue is the headline fantasy concern here. He's been limited — not absent — in practice all week, which at least keeps the door open for a game-time decision. But "questionable" after three straight limited sessions is a real red flag, not a formality. If Hall is active, monitor his practice designation and any pregame reports closely before locking him in. If he's ruled out, Braelon Allen would be next in line for the backfield workload — recent news from ProFootballTalk noted Allen moved up to full participation Thursday after dealing with his own ankle injury, which makes him the most realistic beneficiary if Hall sits.

David Bailey

Bailey is a defensive player (edge rusher), so he's only relevant in IDP formats — leagues that award points for individual defensive players. He's been dominant this season by ProFootballTalk's account: 5.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss, nine QB hits, and three forced fumbles in seven games. A doubtful tag after zero practice reps all week means IDP managers should have a backup plan ready. The fantasy implication for offensive players is minimal, though Raiders skill players could see a marginally friendlier pass-rush environment without him.

Dylan Parham

Parham is listed here as a TE, though ProFootballTalk's story identifies him as an offensive lineman. His questionable status (knee) is worth monitoring for anyone starting Jets skill players — an undermanned offensive line can affect the whole offense's floor. No further detail on his practice participation was provided in the source story.
