Chris Brooks Placed on NFI List to Start Training Camp

Monday, July 27, 4:33 PM

The Green Bay Packers placed running back Chris Brooks (undisclosed) on the Non-Football Injury list on Monday for the start of training camp, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. It's a bad start for Brooks this summer as he looks to compete for a backup role with MarShawn Lloyd behind starter Josh Jacobs, but he can be activated from the NFI list at any time during camp. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of BYU has seen just 82 rushing attempts in his three years in Green Bay for 395 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown in 41 games played (zero starts), adding 24 receptions for 160 yards as a pass-catcher. If healthy, Lloyd probably has the leg up for the RB2 role in Green Bay behind Jacobs, but Lloyd has already had a pretty lengthy injury history in his short time in the NFL. Barring another injury to Lloyd before the start of the 2026 season, fantasy managers in all single-year formats can continue to ignore Brooks.

Adam Randall a Priority Dynasty Stash Candidate Entering 2026

Wednesday, July 22, 10:00 AM

After starting his career at Clemson as a wide receiver, Baltimore Ravens rookie Adam Randall transitioned to running back in his final collegiate season. Randall was highly productive across 13 games for the Tigers in 2025, recording 1,068 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 204 touches. The 22-year-old may not have a path to fantasy-relevant playing time in 2026, as he enters the year behind Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali on the Ravens' running back depth chart. However, Henry is 32 years old, Hill will be a free agent after 2026, and Ali has yet to establish himself as a significant piece of the Baltimore offense. At worst, Randall appears to have a clear path to replacing Hill as the third-down complement to Henry in Baltimore in 2027. Particularly for dynasty managers in the midst of a rebuild, Randall profiles as a player to target for his long-term upside.
