Second-round pick at 23; massive value in Sleeper (138 ADP) despite ACL injury history.

Jonathon BrooksCAR

Significant ADP variance across platforms: 138 in Sleeper, 106 in ESPN, 98 in Yahoo, 102 in Underdog, and 77 in FFPC. In Sleeper drafts using Flock Fantasy's draft sheets, he represents massive value; in FFPC and Underdog, he's tougher to justify. Despite two ACL tears and minimal NFL snap work (8% in week 12, 6 carries in week 13, 1 carry in week 14 before tearing ACL again), Brooks was a second-round NFL draft pick out of Texas, indicating elite pre-injury talent. At 23 years old, he's years younger than competing backs like Jakory Kroski Merritt and Woody Marks (both 25.5), and faces minimal competition from Chuba Hubbard for the Carolina Panthers starting role.
