From the episode

If they both are there week one and they stay healthy all season long, Brooks is the one you're going to want to have on your fancy team. He should be better. He should get more touches, kind of like how Rico Dowdle did last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Brooks projected as Carolina's lead back with more touches than Hubbard.

Brooks is expected to be the lead back in Carolina if both he and Chuba Hubbard stay healthy; he should get more touches and be better than Hubbard, similar to how Rico Dowdle emerged last year. The source ranks Brooks ahead of Ja'Kory Kroski Merritt and plans to take him in round seven.
