Breece Hall and James Conner sit on different ends of the spectrum of competitiveness. One is on a languishing roster that is a prime candidate to be blown up after a disastrously disappointing season, while the other is on a surprise playoff contender that has regained its form after some time spent in the abyss.

Of course, fantasy manager debates will arise over who the better player is. So who is the better player between them for Week 14?

Despite being on the terrible New York Jets, Breece Hall has surprisingly been fairly prolific, scoring 189.3 points across a dozen games, positioning himself just outside the top 10 of Sportskeeda's fantasy football rankings. However, he is coming off his worst fantasy performance since Week 4, when he had just six in a loss against the Seattle Seahawks after failing to make the most of his twelve carries and covering only sixty yards.

Good news awaits him, however. The Miami Dolphins are right within the bottom quarter when it comes to hindering running backs, allowing 28.6 points. While they held Josh Jacobs to under fifty last time out, he also did score a touchdown, proving that notion even further.

Is James Conner having a renaissance?

A problem with his stint with the Arizona Cardinals was that they often had no elite receiver(s) who could reduce his burden. But now, he has Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride helping him. And that has only served to elevate his game.

His RB15 spot and 171.9 points are expected to become even better when he faces the Seattle Seahawks again. The team is among the worst when it comes to hindering players at his position – 28.9 points allowed, just five spots from the very bottom.

That is just half a point from what they have allowed against wide receivers which speaks to their defensive contrast.


Whom should I start between Breece Hall and James Conner?

Once again, Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer has created an anomaly. Hall is the inferior rusher, losing yardage by almost five and scoring by .2; but he wins by being the better receiver.

However, a shrewd fantasy manager might be better served sticking to Conner. While not the most prolific rusher around, he is at the least on a more promising team that has a greater chance of playing January football with the right breaks.
