From the episode

We see Rico Dowdle step up and have some really solid fantasy performances. The opportunity is there for Brooks to step in and do what Rico Dowdle did last year and just be the better back in this backfield and potentially take it over.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Brooks can replicate Dowdle's role, but ADP rise requires him to unseat Hubbard.

Matt Harmon explains that the opportunity for Jonathan Brooks exists because Chuba Hubbard suffered an injury last season and Rico Dowdle stepped up with solid fantasy performances. Brooks has the chance to replicate Dowdle's role or potentially unseat Hubbard on the depth chart. However, Harmon cautions that Brooks has been pushed up in ADP to the ninth round, and to justify that price, he would need to become the lead back rather than just a number-two option.
