Chris Brooks
RB - Green Bay Packers
The Miami Dolphins are moving on from RB Chris Brooks with a waived/injured designation.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks was working through concussion protocol recently but had strong moments in the preseason (17 carries, 103 yards) and at times last season. He will likely land somewhere and will compete when healthy, but he will need time to recover. He could land back in Miami if he clears waivers.
The Miami Dolphins are putting RB Chris Brooks through concussion protocol following their preseason game on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks is in a position to miss the team's preseason finale, though he could be ready for the start of the regular season. With Brooks potentially missing time, the Dolphins are suddenly thin on preseason depth with RBs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane playing limited snaps. Rookie RB Jaylen Wright and veteran RB Jeff Wilson Jr. are working through their own minor injuries, and the team released RB Salvon Ahmed. Recent signing Anthony McFarland Jr. could be in line to play a role in Week 3 of the NFL preseason, though Brooks is the likelier candidate to be Miami's RB4/5 (behind Mostert, Achane and Wright) in the regular season.
Chris Brooks ran for 63 yards on five carries in the Dolphins 13-6 win over the Commanders. Brooks also caught his lone target for nine yards through the air.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks is competing for a depth role in the Dolphins backfield behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert. He also contributed in special teams last year.
The Dolphins activated RB Chris Brooks from injured reserve Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks has not suited up since Week 6 after landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The 23-year-old rookie will have to fight for playing time in a crowded backfield. Fantasy managers can leave Brooks on the waiver wire for now.
The Dolphins placed RB Chris Brooks on IR.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks will miss at least the next four games. It will continue to be Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson if healthy leading the Dolphins backfield until De'Von Achane returns.
