Breece Hall vs Dylan Sampson: Who Should You Start?
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 Dylan Sampson (Cleveland Browns, 4.7 PPG) by 7.2 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
Breece Hall carries a 7.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Breece Hall ran for 1065 yards and 4 touchdowns; Dylan Sampson posted 175 and undefined. 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: Breece Hall is off Week 12 and Dylan Sampson Week 10. 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.
