Jonathon Brooks vs. Bears: Soreness Clouds Week 1 Workload

Brooks is listed as questionable while managing muscle soreness, though head coach Dave Canales expressed optimism about his availability. While listed behind Chuba Hubbard on the depth chart, Brooks figures to rotate into early-down work if cleared. Check back often before kickoff for the latest updates on his official status.

Rostered in 97% of leagues but started in just 21%, managers are rightfully cautious. Our weekly projection models roughly 10 carries for 45 rushing yards and 9.9 fantasy points against Chicago. Given the shared workload and injury cloud, Brooks profiles as a risky flex option for Week 1.

Outlook Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson Road Opener — Reliable Target Floor in Dallas Passing Attack

Ferguson enters the season completely healthy as the Cowboys' clear lead tight end, commanding full control of the position ahead of Brevyn Spann-Ford. With depth tight ends Princeton Fant and DJ Rogers on injured reserve, Ferguson will see nearly every primary passing down alongside quarterback Dak Prescott and receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Coming off an 87-catch campaign in 2025, Ferguson maintains a sturdy 90% roster rate across fantasy leagues. Our weekly projection tabs him for 4.3 receptions on 5.4 targets for 33 receiving yards and 10.3 fantasy points, making him a reliable, high-floor streaming option for managers needing tight end stability.
