Garvin targets Brooks at 7th-8th round as Canales RB breakout over Hubbard

Jonathon BrooksCAR

Ray Garvin identifies Jonathan Brooks as the primary Dave Canales RB breakout candidate over Chuba Hubbard, citing his well-rounded profile with explosiveness and pass-catching ability versus Hubbard's limitations. Garvin notes a historical pattern of Canales RBs (Bucky Irving, Rico Dowdle) starting as the number two and taking over; he targets Brooks at 7th-8th round ADP as easy value, willing to flip to Chuba only if Brooks rises to round 6 and Chuba falls to round 8. Recent FFPC/NFFC drafts show the market attacking Brooks now. Garvin acknowledges Brooks' injury history (knee injury twice, re-injured upon return) as a legitimate concern but prefers betting on Brooks' unknown upside over Hubbard's known production.

Source transcript excerpt
Brooks is the one this year. If one of them is going to hit big for fantasy, I'd rather bet on sort of the unknown upside with Brooks than sort of the one we know with Chuba... eighth-round Jonathan Brooks is is easy to click on. I can even get with a little bit of seventh-round exposure.
