Carolina picks up in second round
The Panthers selected Brooks (knee) in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 46th overall.
ANALYSIS
All indications are that the recovery is going well, but the most pressing question for Brooks (6-feet, 216 pounds) is how soon he might be 100 percent healthy after suffering an ACL tear November 11. Once he's healthy, the Texas standout will likely be favored for playing time at running back for Carolina, though evidence of him having more ability than either Chuba Hubbard or Miles Sanders is a bit scarce in the meantime. Where Brooks might carve out most of his immediate fantasy value is on passing downs, as he definitely has better pass-catching ability than either Hubbard or Sanders. That skill could particularly serve as a path to snaps, considering the Panthers should spend plenty of time trying to catch up in the second halves of games again in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely ready for training camp
Brooks, recovering from a torn ACL, is expected to be ready to participate in training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brooks had a breakout 2023 season at Texas and had racked up 1,139 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns in 10 games prior to tearing his ACL. His draft stock has fallen some as a result, though he's still expected to be selected in the second round. While teams may opt to protect his health to begin his career, Brooks could emerge as a lead back in his rookie campaign.
