Brooks is the third-string Packers RB who took over by overtime in Week 2 after two other backs fumbled. Behrens finds him the most interesting of the three Packers backs because Green Bay is clearly comfortable with him in the passing game (multi-year pattern), and he's a bigger back who could theoretically handle volume. However, the team has never given him early-down opportunities or rhythm in the run game, which Behrens finds baffling given the league trend toward bell-cow usage. Neither Andy Behrens ranks any Packers RB as a must-start.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Brooks played 22 snaps in Week 2 vs. Jets, the most among Packers running backs; got work in overtime but couldn't move the ball; played on the series after the Jets punted with the game at 17-14.NegativeUsageSep 17, 2026
Brooks looked slightly better than Lloyd in the Packers backfield split; stayed behind blockers and came up just short of a touchdown; had a strong first carry of 15 yards, the only significant play either back produced; ranked RB41 due to frustrating split backfield and tough matchup on the road against a strong Jets defense.PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
In Week 1 against Arizona, Chris Brooks started for Green Bay and gained 15 yards on his first carry, immediately establishing himself as a productive option in the Packers backfield despite preseason expectations that Marshawn Lloyd would be the featured back.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Chris Brooks looked better than Marshawn Lloyd in Week 1 despite a 2-to-1 carry disadvantage; Brooks is a better zone blocking scheme runner and showed superior performance in that area.NegativeRoleSep 9, 2026
The source notes that Chris Brooks is a strong pass protector and could see the field for the Packers to help protect Jordan Love, potentially impacting MarShawn Lloyd's snap share.PositiveUsageSep 8, 2026
Jackson Smith names Chris Brooks his number one waiver add, noting he is a capable pass blocker who played last year and could serve as a default option in a chaotic backfield.PositiveSleeperSep 3, 2026
Chris Brooks is highlighted as an interesting late-round sleeper who could emerge if Marshawn Lloyd struggles or gets injured, noting that it is unclear if Lloyd is truly the RB1.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
Power back and Chris Rodriguez type; good pass blocker with very little wiggle or big play ability; not likely to make many people miss. Has played in 41 NFL games with Miami and Green Bay with 80 total carries and some receiving work but not a dynamic playmaker. Ranked 10th or 11th round. If Brooks is the main guy at week one, it's not expected but wouldn't be a shock given he's now the veteran in the room.
