Draft Note by John Paulsen
Brooks is recovering from a "clean" ACL tear (per Ian Rapoport) and should be ready to play in July. He should quickly beat out the solid-but-not-spectacular Chuba Hubbard and 2023 free agent disappointment Miles Sanders to earn the RB1 job. His upside is capped by the Carolina offense which needs to take a big step forward if it's going to support a bona fide fantasy RB1. I expect his ADP will land in the fifth/sixth round since Brooks is a good bet to see 15+ touches per game as a rookie. The last six second-round running backs who started at least 11 games as rookies averaged 268 touches for 1,286 yards and 9.2 touchdowns.
