Chris Brooks News
Saturday, October 10, 12:15 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Brooks had handled a larger snap share through the first four weeks with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list, but it amounted to just 15 carries, 70 rushing yards, three catches, and 24 receiving yards. The 26-year-old will now miss a minimum of four games, leaving Green Bay's backfield more short-staffed than ever. We expect to see an unappealing rotation of MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Pierre Strong Jr. going forward. Lloyd and Johnson are fine stashes in deeper fantasy leagues, but neither of them is worth starting in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.

Jaylen Wright News
Wednesday, October 21, 7:36 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has yet to capitalize on De'Von Achane's (knee) season-ending injury, leaving him firmly behind Ollie Gordon II in the backfield. Wright played just nine offensive snaps in Miami's Week 5 loss to Cincinnati, rushing six times for 11 yards after entering the game questionable with a foot injury. Gordon handled 43 snaps and 18 carries, producing 88 rushing yards and a touchdown. Wright has managed just 18 yards on 11 carries over his last two appearances and has yet to record a reception or touchdown this season. Miami also claimed rookie Kaytron Allen off waivers on October 9, adding another potential competitor for backfield work. Coming out of the Week 6 bye, Wright is still a pure handcuff and not a realistic fantasy starter against the New York Jets. Rostered in just 5% of leagues, he's worth holding in deeper formats with enough bench space, but Gordon has given Miami little reason to redistribute the workload.
