From the episode

We talk about Jonathan Brooks now hitting IR. This is another one where, hey, we're just going to go to the college profile, forget that he barely has any touches in the NFL, and we're just going to project him. So the highly speculative projection-based players are the ones that have face-planted the hardest this year. And we, all of us, again, including me, I have some Jonathan Brooks.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Brooks' IR status exemplifies the 2025 speculative bust trend.

Jonathan Brooks is highlighted as another speculative, projection-based player who has face-planted in 2025, now hitting IR; Matt Kelley notes he personally owned Brooks and was excited about the upside but acknowledges the disappointing outcome in hindsight.
