Breece Hall fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Breece Hall 2025 Fantasy Preview
2024: A top-five running back in summer fantasy drafts, Hall ended up finishing as the RB17 by average PPR points. The culprits were many. Hall's efficiency cratered from his 2023 marks while his receptions fell from 76 to 57. He scored just eight total touchdowns. Although it's tempting to blame it all on Aaron Rodgers and the Jets' overall dysfunction, Hall never presented as a potential solution. That kept the door open for rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis to command touches. They did so, but experienced even less success than their third-year teammate.
What's changed: Rodgers is gone along with his sycophantic assistant coaches. They have been replaced by former Lions man Aaron Glenn on the sideline and dual-threat QB Justin Fields under center. That duo all but guarantees a run-heavy approach, though Glenn has hinted he could go beyond the Lions' patented two-man backfield in favor of a three-back approach. That would be disastrous for Hall but is impractical in theory.
Outlook: Unless Allen or Davis massively level up on their disappointing rookie years, Hall remains by far the best runner on this roster, as well as one of its most important pass catchers. Overheated in recent years, Hall's ADP is more reasonable for 2025. He's a sturdy RB2 with the upside for much more.

Tua Tagovailoa: We didn't have the energy we're used to in practice with Lions
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel dismissed Lions linebacker Grant Stuard's musings about the Dolphins not being able to match his team's intensity in a joint practice as 'noise,' but one member of McDaniel's team feels there was a lack of juice on their side on Wednesday. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa called it 'a very frustrating day in regards to what we wanted to do' and was then asked to expand upon the things that frustrated him during the session. 'Some of the frustrating things like I said were we couldn't get ourselves jumpstarted as an offense,' Tagovailoa said, via a transcript from the team. 'We couldn't gain that momentum to where, OK, all we needed was one play and then jumpstart the offense whether it was move the ball, whether it was one of the third down team periods, another team period, red zone. It just felt like we didn't have the energy that we're used to when we practice and when we play against opponents, so that's what I'm talking about when I talk about it was frustrating today.' Tagovailoa's comments focused on the offense, but the Dolphins defense had a hard time as well and the entire team failed to met the standard they needed to reach against an NFC contender. They have a chance to show that they can find the right level on Thursday and another rough day won't do much to support McDaniel's shrug at the notion that his team doesn't have the right intensity across their roster.

Joe Namath, 82, Reflects on Addiction and Sobriety in Resurfaced Clip: 'I'm a Slow Learner, but by God I've Learned' originally appeared on Parade. NFL legend Joe Namath, 82, is going viral all over again. The iconic former NY Jetsquarterback, charmingly nicknamed "Broadway Joe," sat down with interviewer Graham Bensinger to share how he overcame addiction. The interview originally aired in March 2024, but the resurfaced clip is giving Namath's legions of fans another look at his revealing insights into Jets icon has long been open about his battle with alcoholism, writing about it extensively in his autobiography All The Way: My Life In Four Quarters.

The incident led Namath to seek treatment for alcoholism and marked the beginning of his journey to sobriety. In his interview with Bensinger—which the host recently reshared on social media—Namath offered heartfelt advice for anyone struggling with addiction. "Get some help. You've got to want to do it," he said. "Understand about it. Understand what it is and ask for help. It's like, ask God: 'Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' Those three things—every day it comes to mind, and it's solid. It's good." He continued, "If you can get through the physical part of it—withdrawal, or the withdrawals you think there are—it becomes an attitude. I always think about the downtimes, how it made me feel, and how I fouled up everything I ever did in my life. Everything I did that was screwy had some alcohol in it. I'm a slow learner, but by God, I've learned."Fans React to Joe Namath's Comments on Sobriety "Joe, I love your humility," wrote one fan on Bensinger's social media post, echoing the sentiments of many commenters touched and inspired by Namath's honesty about a dark chapter in his life. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Joe Namath, 82, Reflects on Addiction and Sobriety in Resurfaced Clip: 'I'm a Slow Learner, but by God I've Learned' first appeared on Parade on Aug 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
