Source dated 2026-08-24 · PPR rank · Season-long projection
Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
The Packers gave Brooks RB3 snaps (19.8%) last year, suggesting he has the inside track to an RB2 opportunity in 2026. He gained 197 yards across his 40 touches with no touchdowns and 13 catches. His opportunity was slightly higher in 2024 (36/183/1 with 11 catches for 69 yards).
Brooks never had an elite starting opportunity over five seasons in college. He rushed for 2,551 yards across his 512 carries with 20 touchdowns, while adding 60 catches for 443 yards and seven touchdowns on 76 targets.
