Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jonathon Brooks
From the article
Brooks was a dynamic pass-catcher and mover in space as a prospect and should be able to live in a Panthers run game that will operate from 11-personnel and more spread-based looks this season. Obviously, Brooks is a complete mystery box player because we've only seen him touch the ball 12 times as a pro.
STACKED’s take
Brooks' health and Panthers' run commitment create mid-round upside despite limited NFL experience.
Jonathon Brooks is a breakout candidate for the Panthers under Dave Canales, who has reiterated his commitment to the running game since being hired. In the first eight weeks of 2025, Carolina led all teams with 205 running back touches, though they finished 12th overall. The team will evolve as a passing unit with more diverse receiver usage and quarterback development, but won't abandon the run. Brooks could compete to be the lead back now that he's healthy, especially with Chuba Hubbard banged up entering the season. As a prospect, Brooks was a dynamic pass-catcher and mover in space and should thrive in a Panthers run game operating from 11-personnel and spread-based looks. While Brooks is a mystery box with only 12 professional touches, he's healthy and offers upside as a mid-round back.
