From the episode
The problem with Jonathan Brooks is he's just gotten hurt... he had the torn ACL in college... like that kind of news about a person's knee that formerly wasn't attached suddenly is attached... I have Brooks right now, like 54th among running backs... That is very low. That's like, you know, very deep flyer type territory.
STACKED’s take
Brooks' injury history (ACL, three major injuries) makes him risky at RB54
Panthers RB Brooks carries a troubling injury history: torn ACL in college, was a consensus potential top-10 pick but fell to second round, didn't play initially after being drafted, and has now suffered what appears to be a third major injury. The source was very bullish on Brooks entering last season but he suffered an injury and returned perhaps too soon, leading to ongoing health concerns. The source emphasizes that Brooks's health status in August is critical and must be monitored closely; news about his knee—'formerly wasn't attached, suddenly is attached'—is the kind of information you can believe in August. Brooks is currently ranked 54th among running backs, 'very low territory' in 'very deep flyer type' range, and his role will likely be methodical snap-count integration if he returns healthy.
