Breece Hall or Bijan Robinson: Who should I draft with first overall pick in fantasy football 2024? 

Breece Hall and Bijan Robinson are two of the most promising running backs in the NFL today. The latter was monstrously productive as a rookie with the Atlanta Falcons last season, coming just short of 1,000 yards. The former, meanwhile, came back from a devastating injury to become one of the New York Jets' few bright spots on the offense, also coming just short of 1,000 yards.

With each of them looking to improve on their respective teams' 7-10 records, who, between them, is a better fantasy investment?

Expectations are high for the Jets this season. Aaron Rodgers is back from his Achilles injury. He also has a rejigged receiving core of Garrett Wilson, Mike Wiliams, Allen Lazard, rookie Malachi Corley, and tight end Tyler Conklin.

The offensive line has also been reconsituted to provide better opportunities for both him and Breece Hall, most notably adding elite blindside tackle Tyron Smith and former Baltimore Ravens John Simpson and Morgan Moses. Such rebuilding has made FantasyPros peg the running back as a potential consensus RB1 candidate. He has a draft ceiling of #6 overall and #2 among running backs.

The Falcons also have high expectations of their own, with quarterback Kirk Cousins having a monstrous receiving core of Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Kyle Pitts to throw to, alongside an offensive line that boasts Pro Bowlers Jake Matthews and Chris Lindstrom.

On the ground, one can expect Bijan Robinson to split carries with Tyler Allgeier and still come off as an RB1 candidate. His ceiling stands at #5 overall and #3 among running backs

Who wins between Breece Hall and Bijan Robinson?

In a surprising outcome that Sportskeeda's fantasy football analyzer might not have foreseen, Bijan Robinson simply blows Breece Hall out of the water - by 37.2 points. He is projected to have a larger output than his counterpart in every relevant category save for rushing touchdowns.

That may be caused by his team's projected situation - the Falcons are considered the runaway favorites to clinch the NFC South. The Jets, meanwhile, still have the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills to contend with.
