From the article

We go from Tony Pollard, Rhamondre Stevenson and Jadarian Price to Jonathon Brooks and Kenneth Gainwell in a span of just 2-3 rounds this year. I really want the former in my flex rather than going with a WR4 or Gainwell.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Brooks represents a value drop-off from the elite Round 7 RB tier.

Jonathon Brooks falls into the next tier of RBs after the Round 7 elite group (Tony Pollard, Rhamondre Stevenson, Jadarian Price); the source explicitly avoids this tier in favor of the earlier RB tier for the flex spot, suggesting Brooks represents a value decline and is less preferable than the prior tier.
