Chris Brooks News
Tuesday, September 29, 10:08 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks has been highly underwhelming to start the season, but he remains the most-involved member of this Green Bay backfield. Brooks has handled more snaps than MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson in each of the last two weeks, even though it has amounted to only four carries and two receptions during that span. The 26-year-old is far from the must-start range in fantasy football, but if we absolutely had to start a Green Bay running back, the snap share comparison would point to Brooks by a slight margin. There's reason to believe that the Packers could finally start to run the ball a little more starting in Week 4, as they're heavy favorites against a Jalon Daniels-led Buccaneers squad. Because of his snap share, Brooks is at least worth some consideration on the fantasy radar this week, even if he's not a guaranteed plug-and-play option right away.

Kaytron Allen News
Friday, September 25, 9:17 PM
Washington Commanders running back Kaytron Allen has been the clear No. 3 option on the depth chart through the first two weeks of the 2026 season. While he does have nine carries for 40 rushing yards, that's not nearly enough to get him on the fantasy radar. Plus, he has played less than 10% of the team's offensive snaps, and he doesn't have a target in the passing game yet. Allen has operated as nothing more than a change-of-pace behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White, and he'll remain in that type of role as long as both backs are healthy. Even if Croskey-Merritt or White were to miss a game due to injury, we'd be hesitant to insert Allen into any fantasy lineups. The rookie is an intriguing dynasty stash given that Washington doesn't have a long-term solution at running back, but he faces an uphill battle to achieve fantasy relevance in redraft leagues for this season.
