From the article

Brooks showed his explosiveness in Week 1 when he gained 48 yards on his only catch of the game. But he was ineffective on the ground (4-14) and it was obvious from the outset of the game that Chuba Hubbard remains the team's lead back. We need to give some time to someone who missed all of 2025 and played in just three games as a rookie in 2024. But for now, Brooks is strictly someone to stash.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Brooks is a stash play; Hubbard is the clear lead back despite Brooks' receiving upside.

Brooks showed explosiveness with 48 yards on his only catch in Week 1 but was ineffective on the ground (4 carries, 14 yards). The source emphasizes that Chuba Hubbard is clearly the lead back. Given Brooks missed all of 2025 and played just three games as a rookie in 2024, the source recommends stashing him for now rather than starting him.
