Audric Estimé vs Breece Hall: The Full Breakdown
Audric Estimé and Breece Hall are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Audric Estimé averaged 8.4 PPG across 5 games with the New Orleans Saints, while Breece Hall posted 11.9 PPG in 16 appearances for the New York Jets.
A 3.5-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. Audric Estimé ran for 198 yards and 1 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.
Audric Estimé has his bye in Week 8, and Breece Hall rests in Week 13. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
