Outlook Chris Brooks
Chris Brooks at NYJ — Backfield Committee Role Keeps Value Limited
With Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Chris Brooks has stepped into a regular backfield rotation alongside MarShawn Lloyd. In the season opener, Brooks logged seven carries for 29 yards and drew praise for his pass protection, earning trust on passing downs while Lloyd shares touches.
Brooks' roster rate has climbed to 16%, but a 1% start rate shows fantasy managers are appropriately cautious. Facing the Jets in potentially rainy conditions, our weekly projection forecasts about 29 rushing yards on seven carries with minor passing involvement (6.9 fantasy points). He remains a stash candidate rather than an immediate starter.

Outlook Jakobi Meyers
Jakobi Meyers vs. Browns — Ready for Week 1 in Jacksonville Debut
After dealing with a jammed right hand in August, Jakobi Meyers shed doubt about his availability by practicing and confirming he will suit up for Week 1. Operating as a starting wide receiver on the perimeter alongside Brian Thomas Jr., Meyers gives quarterback Trevor Lawrence an established, reliable veteran possession target against Cleveland.
While rostered in 83% of leagues, Meyers is started in only 7%, reflecting manager caution surrounding his hand issue and a projected low-scoring environment. Our projections slate Meyers for roughly 4 catches on 6 to 7 targets for around 50 yards (11.7 fantasy points), placing him firmly in the WR3 or Flex conversation.
