Brooks has gone through two ACL blowouts and has hardly played in the NFL. But Carolina's incumbent RB Chuba Hubbard is an ordinary talent — and he was beaten out by Rico Dowdle last year — so we have to keep a keen eye on this depth chart, while remembering Brooks was a dynamic player at Texas.

STACKED’s take

NeutralDepth Chart

Brooks is a speculative depth chart play with upside if Hubbard falters.

Brooks is a speculation play behind incumbent Chuba Hubbard, but the source notes Hubbard is ordinary talent who was beaten out by Rico Dowdle last year, so the depth chart bears watching. Brooks was a dynamic player at Texas and the Panthers will play their best players regardless of Hubbard's veteran status and contract extension. However, Brooks has suffered two ACL blowouts and has hardly played in the NFL, and Carolina's offensive line is already battling injuries, which limits his near-term ceiling.
