STACKED’s take
Positive signalRole
Third-down specialist with upside to 33-50% of touches if Lloyd struggles.
Expected to form a backfield tandem with Marshon Lloyd in Las Vegas. Brooks is better in pass protection than Lloyd and will likely be the third-down back. Matt Waldman RSP Film Room projects Brooks could receive a third to almost half of the touches depending on how well Lloyd performs and stays healthy; he's described as a "good doubles hitter" who fits the Raiders' between-the-tackles running scheme, positioning him as a waiverwire watch list candidate with meaningful role upside.
