Dynasty Fantasy Football RB Trade Target
Breece Hall, New York Jets
Hall is coming off a disappointing 2024 season. He failed to crack 900 rushing yards, averaged a career low 4.19 yards per carry, and finished the season as the PPR RB16. Among 46 qualifying backs, Hall also finished 28th in Next Gen Stats rush yards over expected and rush yards over expected per attempt. Suffice it to say, 2024 was not Hall’s best year.
However, we should keep in mind that he’s still a talented back with big-play ability. Aaron Glenn will take over as the Jets' new head coach in 2025. However, he has been noncommittal about making Hall his featured back. This has led to speculation that Hall could be part of a running back committee with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. While that is certainly a possibility, it’s also possible the new staff eventually recognizes Hall is their best back and utilizes him as such.
This situation bears a resemblance to the one surrounding Josh Jacobs entering the 2022 season. Josh McDaniels took over as the Raiders' head coach that year, and there was immediate speculation he would not use Jacobs as a bellcow due to his previous history with running backs.
Things reached a crescendo when Jacobs started the opening series during the team’s first preseason game (The 2022 Hall of Fame Game), and fantasy managers and pundits alike took it as a sign that McDaniels didn’t see Jacobs as a feature back.
Fast forward to the regular season, and Jacobs finished with a career high 1,653 rushing yards on 340 carries and won the rushing title that year. None of this means Hall will follow the same trajectory, but it is a cautionary tale for managers who are quick to write him off. There is certainly risk in acquiring Hall right now, but it might also be an opportunity to buy low.
If he is still New York’s undisputed RB1, Hall could be in line for a big season, as playing alongside a rushing quarterback like Fields should lead to an efficiency spike in Hall’s rushing numbers. This could be a good chance to acquire a potential RB1 for a very affordable cost.

Dynasty Fantasy Football RB Sell Candidate
Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings
Jones recently re-signed with the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year, $20 million deal. It’s understandable why Minnesota would want to keep Jones around, as he ran for a career-high 1,138 rushing yards in 2024. He also caught 51 passes for 408 receiving yards and scored seven total touchdowns. Jones finished 2024 as the RB15 in PPR scoring.
It's also worth noting that Jones touched the ball a career-high 306 times last year, and 2025 will be his age-30 season. Minnesota has said it wants to avoid overworking him this year. To that end, the Vikings went and acquired running back Jordan Mason in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers.
Mason was quite good filling in for Christian McCaffrey last year as he averaged over five yards per carry and ran for 789 yards to go along with three touchdowns.
The fourth-year back also finished higher than Jones in a variety of metrics. Mason scored better in Next Gen Stats' rush yards over expected (RYOE), rush yards over expected per attempt (RYOE/ATT), PFF elusive rating, PFF rushing grade, and Fantasy Points Data Suite's missed tackles forced per attempt (MTF/ATT).
All of this is not to say that Mason is a threat to overtake the RB1 crown from Jones. However, he is a significant threat to touches and will limit Jones’ upside. The team has made it clear it wants to lighten Jones’ workload and has stated it acquired Mason for that reason. This means Jones' numbers will almost certainly take a step back from his 2024 totals.
Jones also enters the danger zone for running backs as he’s set to turn 31 years old in December. This is the area where a running back’s game can fall off a cliff seemingly out of nowhere. Jones got plenty of volume-based production last year, but his workload is set to be scaled back.
Combine that with the possibility of age-related decline, and the thought of keeping Jones on your roster suddenly requires a heavy dose of Pepto Bismol.
Find a trade partner and do what you need to do. A 2025 third-round rookie pick might not sound like much in return, but it might do the trick. There are plenty of talented running backs available late in rookie drafts this year who are worth gambling on over an aging running back stuck in a potential committee.
