Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks out for the 2025 season

Adam Schefter

Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he now will be out for the 2025 season.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne

Fantasy Impact:

With the additions of Dowdle and Etienne (fourth round), this was a distinct possibility, and now the move has been made quite early in the post-Draft season. Brooks will be a tough gamble for 2026, but here's hoping for a full recovery for the young back.

DAL RB Rico Dowdle - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 @ Philadelphia Eagles
Rico Dowdle had a bit of an out-of-nowhere clunker in Week 16, earning 23 yards on 13 carries (1.77 YPA) with a long of 6 yards. Better yet, Ezekiel Elliott cultured a touchdown from the one-yard-line to add icing to the cake. Luckily, Dowdle caught all three of his targets to avoid a complete disaster, but it was still a performance to forget.

Now he gets an Eagles defense that ranks 2nd in RB aFPA, and the team will be missing stud wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, which definitely impacts the offense's ability to move the ball. Dowdle was a pleasant surprise in the second half of the season, but he should be considered in the fringe RB2/3 range in Week 17.
