Video: Top 10 Breakout RBs for 2026
Jonathan Brooks has an ADP of pick 138 in sleeper drafts, 106 in ESPN, 98 in Yahoo, 102 in underdog, and then 77 in the FFPC... he still managed to be a second round NFL draft pick. That is how good he was... he is years younger than some running backs that were just rookies last season... he has very little competition with Chuba Hubard.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Second-round pick at 23; massive value in Sleeper (138 ADP) despite ACL injury history.

Significant ADP variance across platforms: 138 in Sleeper, 106 in ESPN, 98 in Yahoo, 102 in Underdog, and 77 in FFPC. In Sleeper drafts using Flock Fantasy's draft sheets, he represents massive value; in FFPC and Underdog, he's tougher to justify. Despite two ACL tears and minimal NFL snap work (8% in week 12, 6 carries in week 13, 1 carry in week 14 before tearing ACL again), Brooks was a second-round NFL draft pick out of Texas, indicating elite pre-injury talent. At 23 years old, he's years younger than competing backs like Jakory Kroski Merritt and Woody Marks (both 25.5), and faces minimal competition from Chuba Hubbard for the Carolina Panthers starting role.
