Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jonathon Brooks
From the article
Brooks was a high second-round pick for a reason ... or several, really. He's a smooth, explosive and efficient runner with pass-catching chops and good size... Brooks has a chance to win this job and run with it right out the gate.
STACKED’s take
Brooks' elite draft pedigree and health recovery position him to win Panthers RB1 job.
Brooks was a high second-round pick (46th overall) with smooth, explosive, and efficient running ability plus pass-catching chops and good size. He has been sidelined with knee injuries but is finally healthy entering 2026. The source notes that all eight running backs selected in the first half of Round 2 prior to Brooks—Kenneth Walker III, Breece Hall, Javonte Williams, Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift, Nick Chubb, Dalvin Cook, and Derrick Henry—have seen legitimate breakouts and most have been fantasy RB1s at least once. With Chuba Hubbard sidelined by hamstring injury and Trevor Etienne as the next back on the depth chart, Brooks has a chance to win the job and run with it immediately.
