Bengals seem to like what they see from RB Tahj Brooks

CBS Sports

Aug 05 · 5:22 PM EDT

Going into the 2025 season, the Cincinnati Bengals already have one of the most loaded offenses in the NFL, so adding another weapon seems almost unfair at this point, but the team might just have an emerging weapon in Tahj Brooks, a player they found near the bottom of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Brooks was taken in the sixth round with the 193rd overall pick.

Related players: Chase Brown, Samaje Perine, Gary Brightwell

Fantasy Impact:

Brooks fell to the bottom of the draft despite a college career at Texas Tech that saw him rush for 4,560 yards, which ranks as the fourth-most in Big 12 history, the story said. The only players ahead of him on the all-time list are three NFL names you might recognize: Cedric Benson, Ricky Williams and Darren Sproles, according to the story. Brooks has been drawing high praise at camp and the team recently released Zack Moss, so Brooks looks to solidly be the RB2 on a high-powered Bengal offense.

NYG RB Gary Brightwell - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Gary Brightwell had four carries for five yards last week, but added 31 yards on a pair of receptions. He split time with Matt Breida and looked reasonably effective catching the ball. He also has a great matchup against Seattle this week, who ranks 25th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Still, Brightwell’s role is far from secure and he’s still likely to land second on the touches list behind Breida on a team with limited touches to go around. Keep him on the bench this week.
