Brooks projected for bulk carries and TD upside (23%) vs. Lions backups.

Tahj Brooks, the Bengals' second-year RB, is positioned for significant volume in Thursday's preseason game. With Chase Brown and Samaje Perine locked as roster locks, Brooks should see the bulk of carries once Cincinnati's starters exit. The source projects Brooks to score a TD at 23% probability. His college pedigree at Texas Tech (18 rushing TDs, Top 15 nationally in rushing yards after contact with 872, and 26 15+-yard runs) suggests he can exploit the Lions' second- and third-string defense in rainy conditions.
