Outlook Chris Brooks

Chris Brooks vs ATL — Committee workload limits upside on Thursday night

With Josh Jacobs still away on the commissioner exempt list, Chris Brooks has settled into a shared backfield role alongside MarShawn Lloyd. Over the first two games, Brooks has logged 11 carries while contributing in blitz pickup and short-yardage spots.

Even in a favorable home matchup against an 0-2 Falcons squad, Brooks does not see enough sustained volume to trust in starting lineups. Our models project him for roughly 5 carries, 30 total yards, and 5.6 fantasy points. With only a 3% start rate across fantasy leagues, he should remain firmly on benches this week.
