Jonathon Brooks was mentioned as a running back taken off the board.NegativeValueAug 21, 2026
The source identifies Jonathon Brooks as a preferred draft target over RJ Harvey, noting that Brooks is one of several players in the 7-8 turn range that the source would draft ahead of Harvey.PositiveValueAug 15, 2026
JJ Zachariason views Jonathan Brooks as a 'must-draft' player at his current round 8-9 ADP, but warns that his rising cost—potentially reaching the fifth round—makes him a much less attractive value given the team's offensive concerns and injury risks. Zachariason would prefer drafting David Montgomery over Brooks if the ADP continues to rise.PositiveValueAug 14, 2026
The source suggests Jonathan Brooks as a viable target if he falls to the ninth round of drafts.PositiveBreakoutAug 10, 2026
The source strongly recommends drafting Jonathan Brooks, citing his superior ceiling compared to other available running backs like Blake Corum. While he will share work with Chuba Hubbard, his volume and role in an offense with limited pass-catching depth make him a strong target.PositiveBreakoutAug 5, 2026
Jonathan Brooks is a round 8 upside play with strong camp performance and lead RB role on Panthers. James Cook acknowledges injury concerns (two torn ACLs) but argues that rounds 7-11 historically produce few league-winning RBs, making upside the priority in this range. Brooks is "having a fantastic camp and at this point looks poised to open the season as the lead running back on the Panthers." Compared to Chuba Hubbard ("extremely replaceable, has no explosiveness, literally the least explosive running back in the entire NFL last season"), Brooks is "a massive step up from Chuba when healthy." Even if he doesn't start, "he will be the one that is used in the receiving game. That is still upside we want in fantasy." Cook's stance: "I don't care that maybe he has a much better chance of getting injured than other running backs. This is not round three. This is round eight... Shoot for the moon. Take someone who actually has upside."PositiveRoleJun 8, 2026
Running back on the drafted team roster.NegativeValueNo date
JJ Zachariason ranks Jonathan Brooks as RB34 versus ECR's RB42 and targets him as a high-ceiling league-winner candidate in round 12. Brooks was a second-round caliber prospect before injuries; Zachariason expects him to start with a change-of-pace and passing-down role early in the season, then ramp up weekly as he stays healthy and Chuba Hubbard's inefficiency becomes more apparent. Brooks will not explode in week one but should gradually earn more touches and eventually become the lead back. The only downside is injury risk, but at that late draft cost, the upside of a potential RB2 by season's end makes him a smash pick.NegativeBreakoutNo date
Jonathan Brooks is still relatively unlikely to hit, making KD Kupp the preferred pick over him at this draft spot.
