New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) both did not practice Wednesday. According to X (@UnderdogNFL), both players were listed as DNP. Their status for Sunday’s game is now uncertain.

What happened

The Jets held practice Wednesday without Hall or Mitchell. Hall is dealing with a quad injury, while Mitchell has a finger issue. Neither player was able to participate, so their availability for Week 5 is in question.

Hall is the Jets’ starting running back, and Mitchell is a depth receiver. Both are currently listed as doubtful on Sleeper, but the team has not yet made an official announcement beyond the practice report.

Context

Hall has been the centerpiece of the Jets’ backfield. Through four weeks, he has 51 carries for 163 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, along with 10 receptions for 102 receiving yards. His snap share has fluctuated, dipping to 48% in Week 3 after 65% and 58% in the first two weeks.

Mitchell has carved out a role as a secondary receiver. He has 15 targets, nine receptions, and 123 receiving yards in two games this season. He played 82% of snaps in Week 2 but 69% in Week 1.

What’s next

The Jets will practice again Thursday and Friday before setting their final injury report for Sunday’s game. If Hall cannot play, the backfield would fall to the next running backs on the depth chart. Mitchell’s absence would open more opportunities for other wide receivers.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Hall’s absence would be a major blow to fantasy lineups. He is projected for 13.3 PPR points in Week 5, but if he sits, managers should prepare to pivot to their bench or the waiver wire. Backup running backs on the Jets would see increased volume, but none have proven standalone value.

Mitchell is a deep-league or bench stash at best. His Week 5 projection is just 6.4 PPR points. Even if he plays, his role is too inconsistent for starting consideration. If he misses, no single receiver clearly benefits, but the team’s top pass catchers may see slightly more targets.

Managers should monitor Thursday and Friday practice reports. Hall is a must-start when healthy, but Mitchell should remain on benches regardless.
