Outlook Chris Brooks
Chris Brooks — Expanded Committee Role With Josh Jacobs Sidelined
With lead back Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Green Bay's backfield opens up immediate opportunities for Chris Brooks alongside MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson. Brooks secured his 53-man roster spot after a productive camp and enters the week positioned to capture change-of-pace work.
Our weekly projections slate Brooks for around 5 carries and 20 rushing yards alongside roughly 2 targets, yielding approximately 4 to 5 fantasy points. While his roster rate has surged to 11% following the backfield shakeup, a 1% start rate shows fantasy managers are rightfully taking a cautious approach. He should remain on league benches or stashed in deeper formats until Green Bay's touch distribution becomes clear.

MarShawn Lloyd vs. Vikings: Stepping into the Spotlight as Green Bay's Lead Back
With starter Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner's exempt list, Lloyd has elevated to the starting role after taking first-team reps in practice. Fully healthy and cleared of any previous workload precautions, he is poised to lead the Packers' backfield rotation ahead of Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson.
Fantasy managers have rushed to start him, with his start rate climbing above 41% across leagues. Our weekly projections target roughly 14 carries for 55 rushing yards and potential goal-line touches, making him a high-upside flex option with RB2 potential against Minnesota.
