Outlook Chris Rodriguez
Rotational Role and Goal-Line Upside in Jacksonville
Chris Rodriguez enters his first campaign with Jacksonville operating as the primary complementary runner behind Bhayshul Tuten. After undergoing offseason foot surgery, Rodriguez was cleared for individual camp work and remains on track to suit up for Week 1.
Known for his physical, north-south running style, our projections forecast Rodriguez for 125 carries, 465 rushing yards, and five touchdowns. With minimal projected receiving volume, his standalone fantasy value will depend primarily on short-yardage and red-zone work.
Drafters have responded positively to his recovery timetable, driving his ADP up from pick 138 into the 128 range over the past month. At this modest late-round price in 1.0 PPR leagues, our projections view him as an inexpensive depth stash and premium handcuff with plausible touchdown upside.

Outlook Jonathon Brooks
Surging Draft Stock Meets High-Upside Committee Role
After missing 2025 recovering from back-to-back knee injuries, Brooks looked explosive throughout training camp and preseason action. While listed behind Chuba Hubbard on the depth chart, head coach Dave Canales gave Brooks first-team reps, highlighting a clear path toward meaningful touches.
Our projections anticipate a split backfield, pegging Brooks for 165 carries, 675 rushing yards, and four rushing scores, adding 25 receptions for 175 yards (137.0 PPR points). His receiving ability offers a stable weekly floor even while sharing early-down work with Hubbard and Trevor Etienne.
Draft sentiment has exploded following his healthy return. Brooks has surged from an ADP of 121 in July up to pick 81, climbing into the seventh round. While no longer a late-round discount, he remains a high-upside flex target whose value will skyrocket if he commands the primary role.
