Brooks offers higher ceiling than RB35-40 peers; could emerge as RB1 down stretch.
Brooks should play a key role in Carolina's backfield this year assuming he stays healthy, with an even bigger impact potential for fantasy football teams. The third-year back is a popular pick in redraft leagues and a compelling asset in keeper and dynasty leagues, as the former Texas star teased immense upside coming out of college but has yet to truly show that on an NFL field given his season-ending injuries. This makes Brooks an intriguing but ultimately high-risk pick with a higher ceiling than many of the RB35-40 running backs taken ahead of him; he's the type of pick that could legitimately help win your fantasy league if he comes back healthy and catches fire late in the year.

Brooks should play a key role in Carolina's backfield this year, assuming he stays healthy, but he could have an even bigger impact for fantasy football teams this fall. If you're like me and swing for the fences with your late-round picks, I would draft Brooks anywhere between the 90th and 110th picks, which would be Round 8 to Round 10 in a 12-team league. He's one of the only players available outside the top 90 picks who could emerge as a legitimate RB1 down the stretch.
