Something tells me that Shanahan did not bring this kid in to be a back-up.
I bring you draft notes from his entry into the pros ~~
Andre Hall is a compact and powerful runner with a low center of gravity. He has a quick initial burst and has shown good vision on cutback runs. He has good lateral quickness and can pick the right hole and get to it before the defense closes it. He is a patient runner, and allows his blocks to set up fully before him. He knows how to set up defenders well in the 2nd level and this ability makes him very dangerous on a screen pass. He runs with a good pad level and is not frequently tackled on the initial hit. He is a determined runner with decent leg drive for a smaller back. He has natural hands and catches the ball consistently with his arms extended.
Andre isn't a big RB, but he can gain a lot of yardage in a hurry. One can't deny his productivity at the collegiate level. And even though he doesn't have long speed, he can bang out 30 yard runs consistently. He virtually has no injury history, only missing 1 ½ games in high school! That is incredibly durable for a back with less than ideal size. He is a very determined player and could provide good value for a team on the 2nd day of the draft.
Whether Shanny uses him much this season or not, I would think with more experience picking up the blitz, he might be of value in a dynasty league.
What do you guys think?

In past seasons, I have dropped Gates, FWP, Larry Johnson, Tom Brady, Wes Welker (ok, traded cheap), and now Andre Hall (2 weeks ago); so of course Hall is the next Terrell Davis. 
Who knows what the future holds for him. If your sitting there with 2 kickers and 2 defenses, or still sitting on guys like M Willimas or M jones etc. then he's well worth rostering in dynasty.
