Jonathon Brooks vs Denver — Remains Sidelined as Practice Window Nears

Brooks remains officially out for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos while recovering from core muscle surgery sustained in September. Head coach Dave Canales noted the team could potentially open his 21-day practice window soon, and Brooks was recently spotted getting in field work. Once activated, he sits behind Chuba Hubbard on Carolina's depth chart with hopes of carving out backfield touches down the stretch.

Our weekly projections expect zero fantasy points with Brooks inactive, and his roster rate has slipped to 32% during his absence. Fantasy managers should keep him benched or stashed in an IR spot this week, but check back often for updates on his impending practice status.

Bam Knight Sidelined in Week 9 — Backfield Opportunity Awaits Upon Return

Knight has officially been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against Seattle after suffering a concussion and missing practice throughout the week. Before the head injury, the coaching staff intended for Knight to handle a significant split of the backfield carries, but with Jeremiyah Love also landing on injured reserve, Tyler Allgeier will take over lead duties.

Our projections assign Knight zero points this week, placing him firmly on fantasy benches. However, after averaging 6.0 yards per carry across five games this season, he represents an intriguing bench stash given the multi-week vacancy in Arizona's backfield. Be sure to check back often for updates as he works through concussion protocol.
