Fantasy Life Articles on Jonathon Brooks
From the article
Rico Dowdle is now a Steeler and the Panthers brought in no one else to compete for touches with Brooks and Chuba Hubbard... Brooks has much higher draft capital invested in him, so he is in line to get the first opportunity alongside Hubbard. The coachspeak on Brooks has been pretty positive this offseason.
STACKED’s take
Clear backfield role after injury year; positive coachspeak and favorable roster moves.
After sitting out all of 2025 following his second major knee injury in two years, all signs point to Brooks being a major part of Carolina's backfield plans. Rico Dowdle departed to Pittsburgh and the Panthers brought in no one else to compete for touches with Brooks and Chuba Hubbard. Trevor Etienne, last year's draft pick, remains on the roster but produced little as a rookie and has lower draft capital than Brooks, so Brooks is in line to get the first opportunity alongside Hubbard. Coachspeak has been positive this offseason and roster moves suggest a big role. Brooks has risen from a player dynasty managers wanted to trade away to one with real buzz, though health concerns remain.
