Chris Brooks Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins placed rookie running back Chris Brooks (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Brooks will now be required to miss at least four games after injuring his ankle in the Week 6 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old will be eligible to return in Week 12 against the New York Jets. With Brooks now on IR, it's likely that the Dolphins will officially activate running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, ribs) from IR so that he can make his season debut this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. In his first six NFL games, Brooks saw 15 carries for 94 yards. Rookie De'Von Achane (knee) is also on IR and won't be able to return until after the team's Week 10 bye.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday that running back Chris Brooks (ankle) is week-to-week due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6's 42-21 win over the Carolina Panthers, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. In an elevated role without De'Von Achane in the lineup, Brooks took six carries for 28 yards in the blowout victory. If Brooks is indeed facing a potentially multi-week absence, expect the Dolphins to focus on getting Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) activated from injured reserve in time for Week 7's heavyweight battle with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Salvon Ahmed would likely work as the clear-cut No. 2 back behind Raheem Mostert if neither Brooks nor Wilson is able to go on Sunday.

Miami Dolphins running back Chris Brooks rushed six times for 33 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also turned his lone target into a 10-yard reception. It was another strong showing for the rookie out of BYU as he vies for a spot on the 53-man roster. Such an outcome is looking increasingly more possible thanks to his strong preseason and nagging injuries to Jeff Wilson Jr. (undisclosed) and De'Von Achane (shoulder).
