The sources range from 11.3 to 16.1 for Hall and from 11.5 to 13.1 for Metcalf. The ranges overlap, so Metcalf outscoring Hall is a realistic result.

By fantasy points allowed to each position, Hall faces the 5th-softest defense against RBs and Metcalf faces the 14th-softest defense against WRs, so Breece Hall has the softer matchup.
Each projection already accounts for the opponent, so a soft matchup is a tiebreaker, not a reason to bench the higher projection.
Over his recent games Breece Hall has drawn 60% of his team's carries, and DK Metcalf 25% of his team's targets.
These numbers are in PPR. Full PPR adds a point per catch, so it helps whichever player sees more targets, which here is DK Metcalf.
Switch between PPR, Half PPR and Standard on the board above to rescore both players from the same sources.
Neither Breece Hall nor DK Metcalf has an injury designation for Week 8.
Designations change through the week, so check again before kickoff; this page updates with each refresh.
Each figure is the average of the projection sources that carry the player this week: StatChasers, Sleeper, ESPN, numberFire, FFToday and the betting markets (sportsbook player props). Breece Hall is projected by 5 of them and DK Metcalf by 5.
A source with no number for a player is left out of the average rather than counted as a zero.
