Brooks emerging as Panthers lead back at 95.8 ADP offers RB4/5 upside with low risk.

Brooks is seeing an inverse rise as fantasy drafters begin to realize he may be the lead back in Carolina following Chuba Hubbard's hamstring injury. The team drafted Brooks early in the second round two years ago—capital that suggests RB1 expectations—and he just has not seen the field thanks to horrible injury misfortune. Heading into 2026, Brooks is pushing past Hubbard as the lead back in Carolina and has the talent to be a fantasy star with a starting role. At ADP 95.8 (↑ 8.6), he's going around the 8-9 round turn, which could make him a viable RB4 or RB5 depending on your build—low risk for potentially sky-high reward.
