Brooks had six carries for 23 yards and a touchdown and one reception for two yards in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints. Brooks came close to picking up his first score a couple times earlier in the season, and he finally found paydirt in Week 16. Both Brooks and Emanuel Wilson were more involved than usual Monday, but that's because the Packers ran away on the scoreboard and conserved starter Josh Jacobs. In a key matchup for both the Packers and Vikings in Week 17, it seems likely Jacobs will reprise his role as the bell cow back.

Brooks had six carries for 23 yards and a touchdown and one reception for two yards in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints. Brooks came close to picking up his first score a couple times earlier in the season, and he finally found paydirt in Week 16. Both Brooks and Emanuel Wilson were more involved than usual Monday, but that's because the Packers ran away on the scoreboard and conserved starter Josh Jacobs. In a key matchup for both the Packers and Vikings in Week 17, it seems likely Jacobs will reprise his role as the bell cow back.
Brooks rushed once for six yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. Operating as the Packers' No. 2 running back, Brooks played just 16 of Green Bay's 64 offensive snaps Sunday, well behind starter Josh Jacobs (48). The 24-year-old Brooks continues to handle a small workload, but he is the preferred backup over Emanuel Wilson based on the fact that he continues to see more playing time than Wilson. With that said, the Packers have relied heavily on Jacobs as he continues to have success out of the backfield. Brooks should be considered a solid insurance policy going forward but holds little standalone fantasy value. The Packers will host the Saints in Week 16.
Brooks had one carry for three yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions. The Packers leaned heavily on starting running back Josh Jacobs again, and both Brooks and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson finished with only one carry apiece. Brooks and Wilson continue seeing a similar number of touches, but Brooks has been spending more time on the field, out-snapping Wilson in six straight contests -- and quite comfortably in each of the last four.
Brooks took three carries for 28 yards and caught both of his two targets for one yard during Thursday's 30-17 win versus the Dolphins. Brooks continued to be more involved in the offense than teammate Emanuel Wilson in Week 13, and he collected five touches for the second straight contest. Even still, Josh Jacobs continues to see the lion's share of the Packers' backfield work both on running and passing downs, so Brooks' path to fantasy relevance in 2024 probably requires Jacobs missing time.
Brooks had four carries for 11 yards and one reception for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers. Brooks finished second among Packers running backs in snaps for the fourth time in as many chances, but he was the third Green Bay running back to get a touch in Week 12, and he finished with five touches compared to Emanuel Wilson's nine. Both running backs figure to continue working in behind starter Josh Jacobs, who is handling the lion's share of the work in Green Bay's backfield.
Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Brooks did not tally a carry Sunday and was the third Packers running back to enter the contest, but for the third time in as many he finished with more snaps than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for only three offensive plays in Week 11. One of the two remains the backup behind Josh Jacobs with the return of MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/appendix) again delayed, but it's tough to say to pinpoint exactly which is the No. 2 back.
Brooks had two carries for 13 yards and three receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Brooks made some noise for the third time in four games, and although he finished relatively even with fellow backup Emanuel Wilson in both the snaps and touches categories, he was the first running back to enter the game behind starter Josh Jacobs, and he could have matched Wilson in the touchdown column had he and quarterback Jordan Love connected on a short pass in the first quarter. Brooks is gaining momentum, but the Packers are on bye in Week 10 and could get back rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) before they take the field again, so Brooks may not be a priority addition quite yet.
Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There has not been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.
Brooks had four carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals. The Packers gave Brooks some work while holding a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and he responded with a couple nice runs. His spot on the roster will be in jeopardy when fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) returns, but he figures to remain Green Bay's third running back until then.
