• Packers' Chris Brooks: Minimal production against Eagles

  01/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Brooks caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles. Brooks failed to record a single carry for the sixth time this season. The 25-year-old running back played just 16 of the Packers' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Josh Jacobs (41) and ahead of Emanuel Wilson (11). Brooks finished the 2024 regular season with 36 carries for 183 yards and a touchdown, adding 11 receptions for 69 yards on 13 targets. The BYU product is under contract for the 2025 season before becoming a restricted free agent in 2026. Brooks will likely continue to compete with Wilson for backup duties behind Jacobs next season.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Effective in Week 18

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Brooks had eight carries for 59 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears. Although the Packers ended the regular season on a down note, Brooks ended it on a high one, setting season highs in both the rushing attempts and yards categories. Brooks averaged a quality 5.1 YPC during the regular season, but it's unlikely he will be much of a factor in the postseason, as starting running back Josh Jacobs will be at full speed and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson took 31 carries to Brooks' 14 over the last three weeks.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: One carry in Week 15

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brooks rushed once for six yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. Operating as the Packers' No. 2 running back, Brooks played just 16 of Green Bay's 64 offensive snaps Sunday, well behind starter Josh Jacobs (48). The 24-year-old Brooks continues to handle a small workload, but he is the preferred backup over Emanuel Wilson based on the fact that he continues to see more playing time than Wilson. With that said, the Packers have relied heavily on Jacobs as he continues to have success out of the backfield. Brooks should be considered a solid insurance policy going forward but holds little standalone fantasy value. The Packers will host the Saints in Week 16.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Snap counts stay favorable

  11/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Brooks did not tally a carry Sunday and was the third Packers running back to enter the contest, but for the third time in as many he finished with more snaps (10) than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for only three offensive plays Week 11. One of the two remains the backup behind Josh Jacobs with the return of MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) again delayed, but it's tough to pinpoint exactly who is the No. 2 back.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Continues making impact

  11/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brooks had two carries for 13 yards and three receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Brooks made some noise for the third time in four games, and although he finished relatively even with fellow backup Emanuel Wilson in both snaps and touches, he was the first running back to enter the game behind starter Josh Jacobs, and he could have matched Wilson in the touchdown column had he and quarterback Jordan Love connected on a short pass in the first quarter. Brooks is gaining momentum, but the Packers are on bye Week 10 and could get back rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) before they take the field again, so Brooks may not be a priority addition quite yet.
