• Texans' British Brooks: Contained to special teams

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Brooks played all 19 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. Brooks has been active for each of Houston's last 10 games, but he's been deployed almost exclusively on special teams in those contests. The reserve running back has played just five total snaps on offense across the Texans' last four games.

• Texans' British Brooks: Receives two red-zone carries

  11/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Brooks had two carries for zero yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9. Brooks was surprisingly allotted two consecutive carries at the goal-line in the first quarter and was stuffed by Denver's interior line on both. Those were two of the five running plays called inside the Broncos' two-yard line during the game that failed to get into the end zone, and Houston failed to produce a touchdown in three red-zone possessions. Brooks has four total carries for 15 yards this season and is a regular on special teams.

• Texans' British Brooks: No usage in Week 8

  10/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Brooks played 11 of the Texans' 80 snaps on offense but didn't record any touches in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers. Brooks has been active for five of the Texans' first seven games this season but has been deployed mainly as on the team's kick-coverage and return units, logging nearly three times as many snaps on special teams as offense. The Houston backfield would likely need to lose multiple contributors to injury before Brooks is called upon to play meaningful snaps on offense.

• Texans' British Brooks: Logs two carries in win

  10/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Brooks had two rushes for 15 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over Baltimore in Week 5. Brooks was one of five running backs for the game and played 11 snaps. Houston won its second consecutive game while running the ball more than passing it, which may explain why so many backs were active. Brooks had been a healthy scratch Weeks 1 and 3 before suiting up the last two games.

  09/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Brooks was on the active roster but did not play on offense in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers. Brooks was active for the first time in 2025, as the Texans somewhat surprisingly made Dameon Pierce inactive, but he was limited to special teams duty. Nick Chubb performed as the main back, with Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale in depth roles.
