Chris Brooks Still in the Mix for Packers' RB2 Role

Friday, August 21, 9:19 AM

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks is back where he needs to be after losing the first week and a half of camp to a hamstring strain. Green Bay's Aug. 10 unofficial depth chart had Brooks directly behind Josh Jacobs, with MarShawn Lloyd next, but there is still a competition here. Brooks didn't play in the preseason opener, while Lloyd got his chance after Jacobs went down with a groin injury. Brooks has since returned to team work, and the Packers trust the 6-foot-1, 219-pound back in pass protection and the passing game. His 2025 numbers weren't much, just 27 carries for 106 yards and 13 catches for 91 yards. He did get 13 carries in Week 18 and turned them into 61 yards. Jacobs is back at practice and remains the clear lead back, so this is strictly about the spot behind him. Brooks has a real chance to win it. Until somebody separates, though, he's more insurance-back watch than a late-round redraft target.

Adam Randall Leads the Way for Ravens in Preseason Debut

Saturday, August 15, 7:30 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Adam Randall led the team with 12 carries, 46 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown during Saturday's preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught one of two targets for two receiving yards. Earlier this week, we heard rumors that the Ravens coaching staff was very impressed by Randall, a fifth-round pick out of Clemson. While we can't put too much stock in one preseason game, his production on Saturday certainly reaffirms why the Baltimore brass is so optimistic. Derrick Henry remains the primary ball-carrier here and Justice Hill is the clear pass-catching back, but Randall is making a legitimate push for the No. 3 running back job ahead over Rasheen Ali. If the 22-year-old can continue to produce this preseason, he could emerge as an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues, especially for Derrick Henry managers looking to get a high-upside handcuff.
