RB Breece Hall dealing with "nicks and bruises," per Saleh.

Reportedly nothing is serious, so it's good news for owners of Hall, who finally saw him take over the RB1 spot in the Jets backfield. Hall ran for for a line of 17-66-1 to Carter's 9-15-0. Both backs added two catches in the game as well. It was only a matter of time before he'd get the lead role and it looks like that happened last week.

The article mentions there was a sense of urgency to Saleh's voice when discussing rookies Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. "We're young at the skill spots, we're young at critical positions, and we have to grow up quick."

Hall had a fumble and a dropped pass across his 16 opportunities (six carries, ten targets) and ceded a majority of work to sophomore Michael Carter, 38 snaps to 50 snaps. The rookie has the entire season to look forward to so there's no reason to panic from a fantasy perspective, but the backfield is sure to be led by Carter in the short term.

Jets are releasing RB Tevin Coleman, per sources.

While Hall is expected to be the team's RB1, and Carter a change of pace and third down back, we had Coleman listed as the team's RB3, which is at least notable in deeper leagues. That role could go to Johnson or Perine going forward. It could be something to watch if you're fantasy-invested in the Jets running game.

During a Twitter Q&A, Joe Caporoso of Turn on the Jets believes the split in carries between running backs Breece Hall and Michael Carter will start out 50/50 but “quickly moves to 65/35 Hall”.

Carter is still the RB1 for the Jets, for now, but these early depth charts also typically have rookies down on the list as they work their way up. Hall eventually should take over as the lead back for the Jets, as the team did invest a second round pick in him, so they obviously want to use him. Hall is the still the first Jet being taken in drafts over at Underdog and being drafted as a top 20 running back. A 65/35 split would absolutely give him RB2 potential with some weekly RB1 upside.

Michael Carter is still RB1.

Cimini noted Carter had a good day catching and running the ball on Wednesday. This is possibly heading more toward a split. Hall is ranked 19th on our RB list with Carter way down in the 40s. If this does turn into a split workload, Carter could hold the edge in the passing game so this is a situation to keep an eye on.

Robert Saleh said RB Michael Carter had a small ankle injury yesterday.
