The New York Jets will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Breece Hall.
Is Breece Hall Playing in Week 13?
Updated at 11:30 AM on Sunday, December 1
Hall is active today
Hall didn’t practice on Wednesday while he deals with a knee injury. However, he made progress all week, returning to a limited session on Thursday and a full one on Friday. He received a questionable tag on the final report of the week.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall tweaked his knee against the Colts in Week 11 — before New York’s Week 12 bye — but remained in the game and later developed soreness.
The fact that Hall is still battling an injury even after Gang Green’s bye week is undoubtedly concerning. The good news is that Hall spoke to the media after Friday’s practice and said he “felt good.” His progression in practice this week suggests he should be able to play Sunday.
Hall’s production has been spotty recently inside a broken Jets offense, but he finished as fantasy’s RB3 against the Colts. He’s been RB24 or better in seven of 11 games this year.
If Hall is out or limited against the Seahawks, fourth-round rookie Braelon Allen will handle the majority of New York’s backfield touches. Allen was more involved earlier this season and even finished as fantasy’s RB6 after scoring twice in Week 2. However, the Wisconsin product played just nine snaps and took two carries in Week 11.
Seattle isn’t a great matchup for whoever New York RB carries the load on Sunday, as the Seahawks have improved against the run after acquiring LB Ernest Jones at the trade deadline. Since Week 9, Seattle ranks fifth-best in the NFL with a 67.2% run-defense success rate on defense.

Should You Start or Sit Breece Hall in Week 13?
Breece Hall is rounding into form at the perfect time, though speculation surrounding Aaron Rodgers’ status moving forward serves as something that DFS managers will need to track — there’s no actionable move for redraft managers setting lineups for this week if a change is made.
- Week 8 at New England Patriots: 31.6% below expectations
- Week 9 vs. Houston Texans: 19.4% below expectations
- Week 10 at Arizona Cardinals: 10.7% above expectations
- Week 11 vs. Indianapolis Colts: 73.4% above expectations
Hall recorded a season-high 23 touches in the loss to the Colts, and that volume allowed him to score twice, doubling his total from the previous seven games. We are looking at an elite talent in a tough spot — he’s the 2024 version of 2023 Bijan Robinson, to a degree.
I like him to post his eighth top-20 finish of the season regardless of the situation under center, but I would remove top-five upside (three such finishes this season) from his profile should Rodgers be sat down.

PFN Insight on the Seahawks' Defense
The Seattle Seahawks found their mojo again this week, ranking as the league's top defense for the second time in 2024. The last time came against a reeling Dolphins offense back in Week 3, but this was against an Arizona Cardinals offense that has been among the best in the league.
We shouldn't overlook how impressive the improvement in the Seahawks defense has been in 2024 compared to recent years. Over the previous five years, their best season-finish was 18th, with a low of 29th that came in 2023.
Mike Macdonald and his staff have turned that around in one year, with a significant improvement compared to last season.
There is still plenty of room for improvement, with most of Seattle's metrics falling in and around the league average. They are particularly good at getting pressure with just three or four rushers -- which is always key -- and has helped to cover other issues they might have in their pass defense.

Seattle Seahawks at New York Jets Trends
Seattle Seahawks
Team: After this week, the Seahawks play a playoff hopeful in three consecutive weeks (Cardinals, Packers, and Vikings).
QB: Geno Smith posted a quick pass rate of 64.5% on Sunday, his highest rate since Week 5.
Offense: Seattle pulled off a big win over the Cardinals on Sunday despite punting on half of their possessions, their highest rate of the season.
Defense: The Seahawks have intercepted a pass in five straight games, a run coming on the heels of five straight games without an interception.
Fantasy: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is one of five receivers to score 19 PPR points in three straight games this season (others: A.J. Brown, Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Malik Nabers).
Betting: It’s been a weird run for the Seahawks – they are 1-4-4 ATS over their past nine games against the AFC.
New York Jets
Team: Aaron Rodgers didn’t lose more than three games in three seasons while with the Packers. If the Jets can’t upset the Seahawks or Dolphins over the next two weeks, the 2024 Jets will have a pair of four-game losing streaks in just over two months.
QB: Rodgers has 20 pressured dropbacks over his past two games and has totaled 19 passing yards in those instances.
Offense: Baby steps? New York scored on 30% of their drives in Week 9, a rate that ticked up to 33.3% in Week 10 and 41.7% in the Week 11 loss to the Colts.
Defense: In Weeks 1-5, New York allowed just 1.39 points per drive, a rate that has spiked to 2.66 since (91.4% increase).
Fantasy: Davante Adams has as many top-30 finishes with the Raiders as the Jets this season (one).
Betting: The Jets are 1-5-1 ATS in their past seven games coming off their bye.
