The New York Jets selected Iowa State RB Breece Hall in the 2nd round (36th overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft, making him the 1st running back taken overall.
The former Cyclones product saw his 1st action as a pro in a preseason game at Philadelphia Aug. 12, and he managed 5 carries for 15 yards. He made a cameo in the game, and despite the rather pedestrian numbers, expectations are sky-high for the top tailback in the ’22 draft.
Below, we look at Breece Hall’s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Hall is listed atop the depth chart for Gang Green. His biggest competition is RB Michael Carter, veteran RB Tevin Coleman and RB Ty Johnson. That’s not exactly super stiff competition, so Hall is expected to see a lion’s share of the carries in 2022.
Breece Hall’s ADP: 43.62
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Hall has an ADP of 43.62 in redraft formats, so you can expect him to go off the board around the 4th round depending on the number of teams in your league.
Hall has the highest ADP of all rookie running backs. He is 20th among all tailbacks, making him a borderline low-end RB2 or top RB3 in most formats.
In keeper formats, Hall checks in 10th with an ADP of 13.97, as fantasy managers are planning on the Cyclones product to be a cornerstone of the Jets for years to come.

Where should you draft Hall?
Hall has amazing upside, but he still will be playing for the Jets in a super-competitive AFC East. It is expected that he will not only win the starting job for head coach Robert Saleh, but that he will be the bell cow, as he not only can carry the mail, but he has great hands out of the backfield.
Hall should be an all-down back, although the veteran Coleman could see time as the 3rd-down back since he is also a viable option catching balls out of the backfield.
I see Hall as a bona fide RB2 in all fantasy formats to start. He handled a heavy workload in Iowa State, and appeared to get stronger as the season went on. While it’s never good practice to load up on a ton of rookies in fantasy leagues, Hall is not a bad guy to hitch your wagon to, regardless of format.
