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 Kyren Williams

Kyren Williams vs. San Francisco — Trusted Lead Role Provides High-End RB1 Value

Williams enters the matchup completely healthy and firmly atop the Rams' depth chart as their primary back over Blake Corum. Fantasy managers continue to show absolute confidence in his role, with near-universal roster rates and a 97% start percentage across leagues. Even with the passing game dealing with minor bumps, Williams remains the focal point of Los Angeles' ground attack after demonstrating consistent high-volume efficiency throughout his career.

Our weekly models project Williams for 13.7 fantasy points, driven by approximately 14 carries for 65 rushing yards alongside a pair of receptions. With consistent goal-line opportunities and steady involvement on early downs, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a dependable, volume-fueled starter with multi-touchdown upside.
