ESPN Fantasy Football on Jonathon Brooks
From the article
One Panthers coach told me Brooks is the 'X factor for our entire season,' noting he has 'another gear -- he takes the team to another level, and everybody knows that.' But one source told me if Brooks remains healthy, he should be the lead back by season's end.
STACKED’s take
Brooks positioned as Panthers' potential lead back if health holds.
Brooks is finally healthy after two injury-plagued NFL seasons and is positioned to be a huge factor in the Panthers backfield. One Panthers coach called him the 'X factor for our entire season,' noting he has 'another gear -- he takes the team to another level, and everybody knows that.' The plan is for veteran Chuba Hubbard and Brooks to be a strong 1-2 punch to begin the season, but one source indicated if Brooks remains healthy, he should be the lead back by season's end. Coaches consider Brooks a slasher in the run game with impressive athleticism in the pass game. The big 'if' remains health, as the team will monitor him and give him more frequent off days during camp to see how his body responds in full pads.
