• Packers' Chris Brooks: Snap counts stay favorable

  4D ago • 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

  18D ago • 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.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Gets involved in win

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There hasn't been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Gets work in easy win

  Brooks had four carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals. The Packers gave Brooks some work while holding a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and he responded with a couple nice runs. His spot on the roster will be in jeopardy when fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (IR, ankle) returns, but he figures to remain Green Bay's third running back until then.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Makes Packers debut

  Brooks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans. Brooks saw his first work since joining the Packers in early September, but he did not take a carry until Green Bay's final drive when the outcome was all but decided. Brooks will operate as the third running back in Green Bay until MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is ready to return, but he will presumably be a distant third option given the way fellow ball carriers Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson have performed to date.
