Brooks is favorite to start over Hubbard; Real-Time ADP RB29 after strong preseason.

Panthers RB continues to gain fantasy steam nearly 21 months after his second ACL tear. Brooks played 12 of 13 snaps with Carolina starters Friday against Jacksonville, recording five carries for 18 yards and a touchdown (1-yard TD run that opened scoring in 34-17 Panthers win) plus an 11-yard run. With Chuba Hubbard sidelined by hamstring injury, Brooks is the favorite to start over Hubbard in Week 1 even if Hubbard plays. Real-Time ADP is RB29, 79th overall; Panthers Qb Bryce Young ranks him RB27, 74th overall in half-point PPR.
