Chris Brooks Fantasy Stats

The Green Bay Packers and running back Chris Brooks agreed to a two-year, $4.85 million deal on Wednesday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Brooks served as the team's RB3 in 2025 behind starter Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson, carrying the ball only 27 times for 106 yards and no touchdowns in 17 regular-season games, adding a career-high 13 catches for another 91 yards on 17 targets. Wilson isn't expected to be tendered a contract as a restricted free agent, but Brooks will most likely operate as Green Bay's RB3 again in 2026 behind Jacobs and MarShawn Lloyd, if he's healthy. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of BYU only has 395 rushing yards and one touchdown on 82 rushing attempts in his first three years in the NFL. He spent his rookie season in 2023 with the Dolphins.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks could possibly see a larger role on offense this weekend. Lead back Josh Jacobs (knee) is uncertain to suit up for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. If he sits, Emanuel Wilson is likely to take over as the lead back in Green Bay. That means, Brooks would move up to the primary backup if Jacobs is unavailable. Brooks hasn't played much this season, but that's not surprising for a third string back. He could be worth a look as a desperation flex play if Jacobs is ruled out.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the Packers' offense as they travel to Cleveland to play the Browns in Week 3. Brooks has played well above fellow running back Emanuel Wilson this season and has gained more snaps from Week 1 (9) to Week 2's 13. Brooks could see a little more time on the field with Josh Jacobs (ankle) a bit banged up, though Jacobs came off the injury report after three limited practice sessions. While Brooks remains a clear role player for the Packers, Brooks' role would increase if something were to happen to Jacobs. Brooks' situational role with the Packers keeps him well away from starting consideration for fantasy in Week 3.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the team's offense as the Packers host the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Brooks played well in Green Bay's preseason games, and his status in the running back pecking order ahead of fellow back Emanuel Wilson remained true. While Brooks remains a clear and distant role player for the Packers, he did get much more work than Wilson did. If something happened to Josh Jacobs, it's fair to say Brooks' role would increase in what would likely be a split backfield with Wilson. Brooks' situational role keeps him firmly on waivers for Week 2.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks was the second back to enter the game for the Packers in their 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in their third and final preseason game. Brooks took over duties after Josh Jacobs received the first two snaps of the game. Playing seven snaps of his own, Brooks exited and gave way to Emanuel Wilson. In Brooks' seven snaps across the last play of the first drive and the first six plays of the next drive, Brooks took four carries for 15 yards. With the injury to MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) putting his Week 1 status in doubt, Brooks' entrance into the game ahead of Wilson seems to put Brooks as the preferred contingent play in Week 1 should Lloyd not be healthy. That said, Brooks should only be drafted in the deepest of leagues as a pure handcuff option.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks looks to continue carving out a role in the Packers' backfield and stated his case in the Packers' 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday afternoon. Mixing in with MarShawn Lloyd, Brooks saw the second-most snaps with the Packers' starters per Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke. Seeing mostly late-down work, particularly on third down, Brooks may have an opening to see a little bit of work behind Josh Jacobs and Lloyd as the third running back, ahead of Emanuel Wilson. From Week 6 through the end of last season, Brooks averaged 15 snaps a game for the Packers in 2024 as the third back in a rotation with Jacobs and Wilson. Brooks looks to be in line for that same role this season, but unfortunately, it's not a fantasy-friendly role even with an injury ahead of him. Keep him undrafted or on waivers to begin the season.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said there's nothing that running back Chris Brooks can't do and also expressed confidence in Brooks as the team's RB2 behind Josh Jacobs with both Emanuel Wilson and MarShawn Lloyd out with injuries currently at training camp. Brooks and Wilson stepped up behind Jacobs in 2024 with Lloyd playing in just one game in his rookie season due to injuries. The 25-year-old Brooks handled only 36 rushing attempts for 183 yards and a touchdown, although he averaged over five yards per carry for the second straight season. He added 11 catches for 69 yards on 13 targets in 15 regular-season games (no starts). While it's nice that Green Bay has confidence in Brooks to back up Jacobs if needed, he's not going to be very relevant in fantasy unless both Wilson and Lloyd aren't ready to go for the start of the regular season.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Chris Brooks (ankle) will not come off Injured Reserve on Saturday and has been ruled out for the Week 13 game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The Dolphins opened the 21-day window for Brooks to be activated from Injured Reserve earlier this week, but he's not quite ready just yet. The 23-year-old has been out since Week 6 with an ankle injury and will purely be depth at the running back position for the Dolphins whenever he is activated from IR. In his first six NFL games before suffering an ankle injury, Brooks had 15 rushing attempts for 94 yards and no touchdowns and wasn't targeted at all in the passing game. He's not anywhere near the fantasy radar.

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.
