When was he talked about as a 2nd rounder? Everything I remember was him generally being the consensus RB1 especially post draft. When is the last time the RB1 of any rookie class went late 1st-early second? I think he's settled in exactly where expected given the tiers of the top of this rookie class.
After looking back, it looks like that kinda talk was PRE-draft
but there was THIS post right after he was drafted, lol
People are getting aggressive because his stock is going up the closer the season is . If you really want him you have to go after him, you cant wait for him to fall to you in the 5th or 6th rd like he has in mock drafts . Im in a keeper league and so many RBs are being kept that all those players that may have gone before him are off the board bumping Brooks ADP way up.
So talked about… by one person on this message board, got it lol. I’m with sheerterror here in that I don’t recall Brooks being discussed as a rookie draft 2nd rounder by the dynasty community. Some consider Benson above Brooks but usually consensus is Brooks in the mid-1st.
Id think anyone drafting Brooks and expecting anything (even late season) this year is misguided.
truth. and returning from an ACL I am inclined to think hes pretty close to being a DND for me now for any redraft league. its typically an 18 month recovery. This doesnt leave a lot of meat on the bone unless drafting him very late.x.com

Absolutely worth the add.
Deeper leagues hes still worth the hold if you can afford the spot. Dalton isn't fancy but he can run an offense. See how much he has left in his arm but it can't be worse.

I said what I said lol
I think the smart move is to wait until mid to late season and ease him back in. Max out at ~10 touches per game. Maybe 12 if we're going nuts. He's coming back from an ACL injury. So they're not going to get an accurate picture of how good he can be until next season. Let him run enough plays to get acclimated to the NFL speed and get through the mental part of planting/cutting on his surgically repaired knee.
Which for a guy in my IR spot, is exactly what I am hoping for.
They might be back to tank mode to get another QB in this draft. Brooks will get reps this year but no reason to rush him back unless somehow Dalton turns back the clock 10 years and lights it up.
I like Brooks as much as anyone but he is a rookie, coming off an ACL (usually takes some time) on a team that has not been good. They still have a ways to go.
Seems…optimistic.
It doesn't take much to get into RB2 territory these days. You are talking about 50yds a game and a TD every other week. It's not that big a leap
True, I just don't think this offense is any good (right now) and they might decide soon to start looking for a top pick in 2025 if they have given up on Young.
It's weird when people compare second-round picks to all-time greats who are FREAK athletes. The allure of what can be makes people drunk. That allure is what makes dynasty fun!
Got outbid on FAAB. One guy basically dumped it all for him.
Javonte has not looked great since his ACL but might be other things at play.
He’s also on the Panthers, so I would Tepper expectations.
As a Horns fan I can agree. I've got Brooks stashed in one league just to see. Not expecting him to be Adrian Peterson, but now that the Panthers have benched Young there's only one way to go.
