• Packers' Chris Brooks: One carry in Week 15

  4D ago • 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: Role remains consistent

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Brooks had one carry for three yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions. The Packers leaned heavily on starting running back Josh Jacobs again, and both Brooks and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson finished with only one carry apiece. Brooks and Wilson continue seeing a similar number of touches, but Brooks has been spending more time on the field, out-snapping Wilson in six straight contests -- and quite comfortably in each of the last four.

• 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.

• Packers' Chris Brooks: Gets involved in win

  10/28/2024 • 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.
