Brooks did not record a touch in Sunday's 35-25 victory over the Steelers.
Brooks did not get the ball for second time in as many games and was only on the field for a season-low three snaps. Josh Jacobs has had a lighter workload than usual in recent weeks, but Emanuel Wilson has soaked up the extra opportunities, leaving a clear pecking order in Green Bay's backfield.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Remains in bit role
Rotowire
Brooks was targeted once but did not record a touch in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.
Fellow reserve running back Emanuel Wilson saw some extra snaps with top ball carrier Josh Jacobs spending less time on the field than usual due to an illness and calf injury, but there was no visible change to the workload for Brooks. The pecking order is pretty clearly defined in Green Bay's backfield, and Wilson -- who has played 68 snaps to 25 for Brooks over the last four games -- would be the primary beneficiary should Jacobs sustain any sort of setback.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Handles one carry in Week 6
Rotowire
Brooks rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.
Brooks continued to operate as the No. 3 running back behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson, playing just five of the Packers' 61 offensive snaps Sunday. The 25-year-old can be ignored for fantasy purposes going forward based on his extremely limited usage. Next up for the Packers is a road game against the Cardinals in Week 7.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Dropping down depth chart
Rotowire
Brooks had one reception for one yard in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.
Brooks played just five snaps on offense in Week 4, which put him well behind both starter Josh Jacobs and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for 25 plays. Brooks played over Wilson during the first two weeks of the season, but the latter tallied 17 touches to just one for Brooks over the last two weeks, so Brooks will reside in the third spot on the depth chart heading into Green Bay's Week 5 bye.

Packers' Chris Brooks: No touches in loss
Rotowire
Brooks did not record a touch in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.
The eight snaps Brooks played in Week 3 were not far off the 10 snaps he averaged over the first two weeks, but he did not get a sniff of the football after racking up five touches total in Weeks 1 and 2. Brooks and Emanuel Wilson -- who finished with six carries Sunday -- will continue mixing in behind starting running back Josh Jacobs.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Three catches in Week 2 win
Rotowire
Brooks didn't record a carry but caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Thursday's 27-18 win over the Commanders.
Brooks played 13 snaps on offense to Emanuel Wilson's five, suggesting the former has established himself as the top backup to workhorse Josh Jacobs, at least until MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) reenters the picture. Barring an injury to Jacobs, none of Green Bay's backup running backs will have much standalone fantasy value.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Operates as backup
Rotowire
Brooks had one carry for one yard and one reception for two yards in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
Josh Jacobs started at running back and handled all but three of the 23 touches racked up by Green Bay ball carriers, but Brooks was next in line, finishing with nine snaps and two touches compared to the two plays and one carry logged by fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson. The latter is a more effective runner and -- depending on the status of MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) -- could be the favorite for carries if Jacobs were to go down, but as things stand consider Brooks the No. 2 option thanks to his superiority in the passing game, both as a receiver and blocker.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Taking some first-team snaps
Rotowire
Brooks has been getting some first-team snaps while fellow running backs Emanuel Wilson (knee) and MarShawn Lloyd (groin) recover from injuries, Wes Hodkiewicz of packers.com reports.
Some may have assumed that Lloyd, a 2024 third-round pick, would settle in as the No. 2 running back after an injury-plagued rookie season. It instead seems Wilson was putting up a good fight to keep the job, at least until he left practice early last Friday with a knee injury, four days after the groin issue forced Lloyd out of action. Neither has returned yet, leaving Brooks as the No. 2 RB in training camp after he handled the No. 3 role for most of last year. He'll presumably have a spot on the practice squad, if nothing else, with a chance to get involved on offense if Josh Jacobs misses time.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Effective in Week 18
Rotowire
Brooks had eight carries for 59 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Although the Packers ended the regular season on a down note, Brooks ended it on a high one, setting season highs in both the rushing attempts and yards categories. Brooks averaged a quality 5.1 YPC during the regular season, but it's unlikely he will be much of a factor in the postseason, as starting running back Josh Jacobs will be at full speed and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson took 31 carries to Brooks' 14 over the last three weeks.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Snap counts stay favorable
Rotowire
Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears.
Brooks did not tally a carry Sunday and was the third Packers running back to enter the contest, but for the third time in as many he finished with more snaps (10) than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for only three offensive plays Week 11. One of the two remains the backup behind Josh Jacobs with the return of MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/appendix) again delayed, but it's tough to pinpoint exactly who is the No. 2 back.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Continues making impact
Rotowire
Brooks had two carries for 13 yards and three receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.
Brooks made some noise for the third time in four games, and although he finished relatively even with fellow backup Emanuel Wilson in both snaps and touches, he was the first running back to enter the game behind starter Josh Jacobs, and he could have matched Wilson in the touchdown column had he and quarterback Jordan Love connected on a short pass in the first quarter. Brooks is gaining momentum, but the Packers are on bye Week 10 and could get back rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) before they take the field again, so Brooks may not be a priority addition quite yet.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Gets involved in win
Rotowire
Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.
Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There hasn't been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Gets work in easy win
Rotowire
Brooks had four carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.
The Packers gave Brooks some work while holding a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and he responded with a couple nice runs. His spot on the roster will be in jeopardy when fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (IR, ankle) returns, but he figures to remain Green Bay's third running back until then.

Chris Brooks: Waived/injured by Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins waived/injured Brooks (concussion) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Brooks entered the concussion protocol eight days ago. If he clears waivers, he'll likely be cut with an injury settlement, allowing Brooks to find a new home once healthy. As a rookie last season, Brooks rushed 19 times for 106 yards but wasn't targeted in the passing game.

Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Dealing with concussion
Rotowire
Brooks entered concussion protocol after Monday's practice session, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
The second-year running back out of BYU was likely on the outside looking in at Miami's 53-man roster, and this concussion further diminishes his chances. Once Brooks returns to the field, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the team's RB room or a spot on the Dolphins' practice squad.

Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Modest production in rookie season
Rotowire
Brooks played seven snaps on special teams during Sunday's 21-14 loss to Buffalo. Across nine appearances as a rookie this season, he rushed 19 times for 106 yards (5.6 YPC).
Brooks only handled offensive snaps in four of nine appearances as a rookie, but he looked competent in Miami's rushing scheme in limited action. A stint on IR due to an ankle injury suffered Week 6 briefly halted Brooks' progress, but he'll remain available as a depth option for Miami's hopeful playoff run. In deeper dynasty formats, the age of Raheem Mostert (knee) and Jeff Wilson ahead of Brooks on the depth chart makes him an interesting long-term stash.

Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Questionable against Tennessee
Rotowire
Brooks (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Brooks was designated to return from injured reserve Nov. 29 after he sprained his right ankle in Week 6 against the Chargers. He was limited in practice leading up to Week 13 but was able to fully participate in sessions this week and has a chance to return to action Monday. Brooks has 15 carries for 94 yards in six games this season.

Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Set to return to practice
Rotowire
The Dolphins designated Brooks (ankle) for return from their injured reserve Wednesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
The move opens a 21-day window during which Miami can evaluate Brooks in practice before activating him from IR. The Dolphins' injury reports this week will provide insight into whether Brooks has a chance to play Sunday in Washington, but even if he's activated from that contest, he'll be relegated to a depth role behind Raheem Mostert.

Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Moved to IR on Friday
Rotowire
Brooks (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Brooks sprained his ankle Week 6 against Carolina, and he will be sidelined until at least Week 12 against the Jets as a result of the injury (four games, plus Miami's Week 10 bye). Miami didn't announce a corresponding roster move, but it's possible that the roster spot opened up by Brooks' placement on IR will go to fellow running back Jeff Wilson (ribs/finger), who is in the second week of his 21-day window to be activated from IR.

Dolphins' Chris Brooks: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Brooks (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Brooks sustained a sprained ankle during Sunday's win versus Carolina, so it's no big surprise that he was unable to practice Wednesday. He'd likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up in Week 7.
