Kubiak did well to bring in a fullback to provide the hardnosed lead blocker for his running backs — be it Ashton Jeanty or scintillating rookie Mike Washington Jr. — and the eventual meeting between Connor Heyward and Brooks will be one to watch.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Heyward's lead-blocking matchup against Brooks' run-stopping prowess is a Week 1 focal point.

Heyward, the Raiders' fullback, is positioned to provide hardnosed lead blocking for Kubiak's running backs (Ashton Jeanty and rookie Mike Washington Jr.). The eventual meeting between Heyward and Jordyn Brooks will be one to watch, as Brooks' ability to diagnose run plays quickly and his size and speed allow him to blow up downhill blocking schemes.
