Trailed MarShawn Lloyd in opportunities (8 vs. 14) in Week 1 but led in snaps (55% vs. 45%), suggesting a pass-down or change-of-pace role in the Packers backfield.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Brooks played 37 snaps compared to MarShawn Lloyd's 30 in Week 1, though Lloyd registered more carries (13 vs. 9). Despite the Packers' offensive line struggles against Brian Flores' blitz-heavy defense, Brooks' utility as a reliable pass blocker should take precedence going forward. Volume is king in fantasy, but playing time matters too, and Brooks is positioned to see more of it in the weeks to come.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
Brooks will have an early season role with the Packers and is a threat to MarShawn Lloyd's touch share, though the source's bet is on Kaleb Johnson over Brooks for the primary backup role in deep formats.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Brooks played 29% of snaps in three drives, well behind MarShawn Lloyd's 71%, but notably out-snapped Lloyd 4-2 on 3rd and 4th downs, handling the only two pass-blocking snaps. This suggests a specialized role in short-yardage and pass-protection situations.NegativeRoleAug 1, 2026
Chris Brooks is competing with MarShawn Lloyd to back up Josh Jacobs in Green Bay, but his role is mostly a nod to his reliability on passing downs and blitz pickup. If Brooks is on the field the passing game can function as it normally would, but the run game probably cannot function as it normally would. Brooks is not conventionally threatening from scrimmage, making him an unreliable option if Jacobs misses time.
