Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers1 of 3AP PhotoThe injury bug has seemingly had a frustrating fixation on Jonathon Brooks, as he tore the ACL in his right knee in November 2023 and again in December 2024.
But if those issues are finally behind him, the highest-picked running back of the 2024 draft has an awesome opportunity to become a fantasy asset.
He was a second-round pick and the first player taken at his position while sidelined by that first ACL tear.
And what he can do is basically everything: burst through tight windows, race around the edge, ditch defenders in space and make plays as a pass-catcher.
He has clear three-down potential, to the point he could challenge Chuba Hubbard for control of a backfield no longer featuring Rico Dowdle.
