Breece Hall Fantasy Week 1 Start or Sit: Start Him, Then Sell High
· Yahoo Sports
Hall heads to Tennessee 16th among running backs in PFN’s Week 1 rankings, facing a defense that led the league in yards allowed per carry before contact. He can beat anyone with enough bites at the apple, and I have him as an RB1 for Sunday. Start him this week and sell him.

I like this game for one reason and one reason only: it’s a chance to see the stars shine. It’s going to be rare that either of these teams is in competitive games that allow for that to happen in an honest way, so yea, I’m excited to see what happens in this spot.
I haven’t yet decided how to best do it (it hinges more on the lineup construction that I land on and you can see that in our FREE fantasy and betting newsletter that releases four times a week), but I’m going to have a skinny stack in this game with a player from both sides.
Hall is talented enough to be in consideration for that, though I currently project the Titans to win and thus am leaning in favor of their running game. Tennessee’s defense isn’t bad, and in terms of yards allowed per carry before contact to running backs, they were actually the best in the sport (35.2% better than league average).
Hall can beat any defense with enough bites at the apple, and I expect that to be the case this weekend. I have him ranked as an RB1 for Sunday and already have him penciled in as a sell-high candidate.
It’ll be easy. You sell your opposition on his raw talent and maybe even average offensive support. You get the highlight tape from this weekend and run it on a loop.

This is a player who has the potential to be a top-10 running back for the season from a talent perspective, that’s not in question.
It’s also not the question we are asking.
There are no points awarded for talent and if/when this offense becomes predictable due to game script (three straight games against the offensively charged NFC North certainly could cause that once we put a bow on Week 1), we are at risk of it being a coin flip if he’s a viable RB2 (eight games last season as a top-24 option and eight outside of that).
Start him this week and sell him for a WR2 who you could see sustaining WR1 production next week.
