Fantasy Tiers

Breece Hall: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #20 at the position). Ezekiel Elliott: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Breece Hall is producing at 54% of elite pace and Ezekiel Elliott at 33%. That ranking gap means Breece Hall carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Breece Hall vs Ezekiel Elliott: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Breece Hall and Ezekiel Elliott for your lineup, you are not alone. Breece Hall finished the 2025 season at 11.9 PPG for the New York Jets (16 games), and Ezekiel Elliott averaged 7.2 for the Dallas Cowboys (14 games).

That 4.7-point weekly advantage for Breece Hall is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Breece Hall ran for 1065 yards and 4 touchdowns; Ezekiel Elliott posted 452 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Breece Hall sits Week 13 while Ezekiel Elliott is off Week 7. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Breece Hall is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Ezekiel Elliott is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Breece Hall (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Ezekiel Elliott (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
