Overall
Limited offensive work in 2025
Brooks rushed 16 times for 45 yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards across 16 regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he tallied 258 kick-return yards.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 sixth-round pick from Texas Tech logged just 47 offensive snaps while playing behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine during the 2025 season. However, Brooks was a valuable contributor on special teams, logging the third-most kick return yards on the Bengals while averaging 25.8 yards per return. Both Brown and Perine remain under contract for 2026, so Brooks will likely play another depth role in Cincinnati's backfield next year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Slated for RB2 duties Week 11
Brooks should serve as the Bengals' No. 2 running back behind Chase Brown against the Steelers on Sunday due to Samaje Perine being ruled out with an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Perine injured his ankle during the Bengals' Week 9 loss to the Bears, and the extra rest courtesy of the Week 10 bye wasn't enough for him to be cleared to play Sunday. Brown played a season-high 65 snaps on offense following Perine's exit in Week 9, but Brooks should see some rotational snaps out of the backfield against Pittsburgh when spelling Brown. Brooks has mostly worked on special teams this season and has just six carries for 18 yards through nine regular-season games.
