Video: Week 8 Waiver Wire: MUST-ADD Pickups & Deep Sleepers
Jonathan Brooks is going to be off the IR... Brooks, we can look at as a, uh, a high upside handcuff moving forward... Maybe it opens up a window for Brooks, the pass catcher, to sort of get ramped up when he comes back.

High-upside handcuff returning from IR with pass-catching upside

Brooks is coming off the IR and the source views him as a high-upside handcuff to Chuba Hubbard moving forward. While the source acknowledges taking preseason losses on Brooks versus Hubbard, Brooks offers upside as a pass-catcher. Carolina's offensive line injuries (Taylor Moton broke his fibula; Monroe Freeling, a first-round pick, will start) may force the team to pass more, potentially opening a window for Brooks to ramp up his pass-catching role when he returns.
