Davis Mattek on Jonathon Brooks

Brooks's 18–19 touch role far exceeds peers; ceiling elite despite downside scenarios

Mattek calls Jonathan Brooks a phenomenal selection in best ball format because of his insane 18–19 touch per game role, which none of the other running backs in his range (Gainwell, Aaron Jones, JCM, Jordan Mason) possess. Brooks could easily be the starting running back for Carolina, a team that would much rather run the ball than throw with Bryce Young at quarterback. While acknowledging downside scenarios (time share with Chuba Hubbard, third-down work to ETN, pass protection struggles), Mattek emphasizes Brooks's ceiling is light years better than comparable backs.
