Jonathon Brooks

Jonathon Brooks has re-torn his right ACL, according to head coach Dave Canales.

Fantasy Impact

This is a devastating blow for Brooks, the first running back selected in the NFL Draft in April. After a long wait, he finally made his NFL debut on November 24th and appeared in three games before this unfortunate injury. Brooks now faces another lengthy rehabilitation process. Expect Chuba Hubbard to continue leading the Panthers backfield.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks was carted off the field after suffering a non-contact knee injury against the Eagles. With Raheem Blackshear also ruled out, Chuba Hubbard will see the bulk of the touches out of a thin Carolina backfield.

Jonathon Brooks ran for 18 yards on six carries and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in the Panthers' 26-23 loss to Tampa on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks was more involved than last week, which makes sense with him coming off of an injury. What is interesting is that he caught three passes while Chuba Hubbard failed to see a target. When all was said and done, Brooks trailed Hubbard in total touches 12 to 9. It's an encouraging sign for those who invested in Brooks in dynasty, but his value in redraft leagues is minimal at this point. He could have some potential during the fantasy playoffs, but what that is remains unknown.

Jonathon Brooks rushed for seven yards on two carries in the Panthers 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks saw very limited action in his NFL debut. After spending the majority of the season on injured reserve, the Panthers are going to work Brooks into the offense slowly.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) is officially active for Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

Brooks will make his NFL debut Sunday after recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in college. The rookie running back is expected to operate as the backup to Chuba Hubbard.
