Breece Hall vs Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Breece Hall and Jacory Croskey-Merritt 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 Jacory Croskey-Merritt averaged 8.0 for the Washington Commanders (17 games).
That 3.9-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; Jacory Croskey-Merritt posted 805 and 8. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Breece Hall has his bye in Week 12, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt rests in Week 14. 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.
