Brooks has been one of the fastest-rising players in fantasy over the past week given fresh news that the presumed starter ahead of him is expected to miss real time with an injury. Even a diminished version of Brooks is viewed as clearly better than that presumed starter, and worst-case outcomes still support real flex-caliber volume in a timeshare, while best-case outcomes could mean a near-bellcow role from week one.

Brooks's ADP rise reflects injury to starter; near-bellcow upside from week one.

Going around RB29 (roughly 78th overall), Brooks has been one of the fastest-rising players in fantasy over the past week given fresh news that the presumed starter ahead of him is expected to miss real time with an injury. Even a diminished version of Brooks is viewed as clearly better than that presumed starter, and worst-case outcomes still support real flex-caliber volume in a timeshare, while best-case outcomes could mean a near-bellcow role from week one. He's now nearly two full years removed from the second of two ACL tears on the same knee, with real optimism from his team's medical staff about the long-term stability of the repair.
