Outlook Chris Brooks
Chris Brooks at Minnesota: Committee Role Expands With Josh Jacobs Sidelined
With primary back Josh Jacobs placed on the commissioner exempt list, Green Bay's backfield opens up for Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd heading into Week 1 at Minnesota. Brooks earned a spot on the 53-man roster and split first-team reps with Lloyd when Jacobs missed time during offseason workouts.
Despite his roster rate climbing to 11%, fantasy managers should keep Brooks on the bench. Our weekly projection estimates roughly 4.5 carries, nearly two targets, and 3.9 fantasy points. Until Green Bay establishes the touch split between Brooks, Lloyd, and new acquisition Kaleb Johnson, Brooks profiles strictly as a speculative bench stash.

KC Concepcion at Jacksonville: Rookie Slot Threat Offers Sneaky Upside
Concepcion enters his NFL debut as Cleveland's primary slot receiver after an impressive training camp where he flashed refined route running. With Jerry Jeudy and Denzel Boston flanking the boundaries, Concepcion is positioned for immediate manufactured targets over the middle. Operating as road underdogs against Jacksonville, the Browns could be forced into elevated pass attempts if they fall behind early.
Our weekly projection anticipates 3.1 receptions on 5.1 targets for 38 receiving yards, translating to 7.9 fantasy points. While fantasy managers have aggressively rostered him at an 84% clip, his 5% start rate underscores a prudent wait-and-see strategy for opening week. Keep this high-upside rookie stashed on your bench until his regular-season target volume materializes.
