Packers' Chris Brooks: One carry in Week 15
Christopher 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 Green Bay 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
Christopher Brooks had one carry for three yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.The Green Bay 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: Stays involved Thursday
Christopher Brooks took three carries for 28 yards and caught both of his two targets for one yard during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins.Brooks continued to be more involved in the offense than teammate Emanuel Wilson in Week 13, and he collected five touches for the second straight contest. Even still, Josh Jacobs continues to see the lion's share of the Green Bay Packers' backfield work both on running and passing downs, so Brooks' path to fantasy relevance in 2024 probably requires Jacobs missing time.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Finishes with five touches
Christopher Brooks had four carries for 11 yards and one reception for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.Brooks finished second among Green Bay Packers running backs in snaps for the fourth time in as many chances, but he was the third Green Bay running back to get a touch in Week 12, and he finished with five touches compared to Emanuel Wilson's nine. Both running backs figure to continue working in behind starter Josh Jacobs, who is handling the lion's share of the work in Green Bay's backfield.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Snap counts stay favorable
Christopher 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 Green Bay 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
Christopher 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 Green Bay 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
Christopher 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 Green Bay 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
Christopher Brooks had four carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.The Green Bay 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
Christopher Brooks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.Brooks saw his first work since joining the Green Bay 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.
