Alexander Mattison vs Breece Hall: The Full Breakdown
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Breece Hall (New York Jets) averaged 11.9 PPG over 16 games in 2025, outscoring Alexander Mattison (Las Vegas Raiders, 5.3 PPG) by 6.6 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
A 6.6-PPG gap gives Breece Hall the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alexander Mattison ran for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns; Breece Hall posted 1065 and 4. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Alexander Mattison is off Week 10 and Breece Hall Week 13. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
