Breece Hall vs Kyren Williams: Who Should You Start?
Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Breece Hall (New York Jets) finished the 2025 season averaging 11.9 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) came in at 14.4 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Kyren Williams carries a 2.5-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; Kyren Williams posted 1252 and 10. 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 12 while Kyren Williams is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
