Chris Brooks News
Tuesday, May 26, 5:32 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks could be emerging as a top handcuff to stash in fantasy football leagues after news broke on Tuesday that starting RB Josh Jacobs has been arrested and booked into jail on five charges, including domestic abuse. If Jacobs is eventually suspended by the NFL to begin the 2026 season, both Brooks' and MarShawn Lloyd's short-term fantasy value for the upcoming season could skyrocket with Emanuel Wilson now out of town. The 26-year-old Brooks, a former undrafted free agent out of BYU, began his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins in 2023, but he has spent the last two seasons in Green Bay. In 32 games (zero starts) with the Packers, he has seen 63 carries for 289 yards (4.6 yards per tote) and one touchdown on the ground, adding 24 catches for 160 yards and no TDs as a pass-catcher. Because of Lloyd's lengthy injury history, Brooks is ranked a tad higher (No. 71 RB) in half-PPR formats for the 2026 campaign. Brooks could be Green Bay's go-to back if Jacobs is hit with a suspension.

Julius Chestnut News
Tuesday, March 17, 12:38 PM
The Tennessee Titans re-signed running back Julius Chestnut to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Chestnut will return for his fifth year in Nashville after he went undrafted out of Sacred Heart. In his four years in the NFL with the Titans, the 25-year-old has operated as a backup, carrying the ball only 42 times for 154 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no rushing touchdowns in 43 games (zero starts). He's added five catches on eight targets for 52 yards as a pass-catcher. With the Titans' backfield largely unchained going into next season, Chestnut will most likely operate primarily in a special-teams role, leaving him mostly unattractive in all fantasy football formats. He was active in all 17 games in 2025, but he saw just 11 rushing attempts for 40 yards. He's currently the RB4 on Tennessee's depth chart behind Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Kalel Mullings.
