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 Juwan Johnson

Juwan Johnson opens the season as New Orleans' lead tight end with dependable target upside

Juwan Johnson enters the opener as the primary tight end atop the depth chart, positioned to maintain a steady role in the passing attack after setting career highs with 83 receptions and 935 yards last season. With receiver Jordyn Tyson sidelined and fellow tight end Oscar Delp banged up, Johnson should serve as a trusted safety valve for quarterback Tyler Shough.

Rostered in roughly 66% of leagues but started in just 13%, Johnson profiles as a viable streaming option and borderline TE1. Our weekly projection slots him for around 4 catches on nearly 6 targets for 45 yards (9.8 fantasy points), giving fantasy managers a solid PPR floor if needing a reliable tight end solution.
