SIT

Tahj Brooks's recent carry share of just 8.6% in his last game signals a minimal role in the offense, making him a risky play even as the season progresses.

Role & volume

Brooks has seen limited usage recently, with an average snap share of only 9.8% over his last four games and a carry share that dropped to just 8.6% in Week 17.

Projected role

Given his current standing as the RB91 on our value board, Brooks is not expected to see significant volume increases or changes in his role moving forward.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Brooks's floor and ceiling are both low due to his minimal involvement; he offers little upside with a projected PPR average of just 1.0 point per game over the last four games.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (4 flags)

Risk Flags

Usage & Volume
Snap share (~14%), carry share (~9%), and target share (~3%) have stayed flat across a full season of exposure, with no sign of expanding responsibility.
Depth Chart Crowding
Brooks sits third on the depth chart behind an established starter in Chase Brown and a veteran in Samaje Perine, leaving no clear near-term runway to touches.

Opportunity Flags

Depth Chart Path
Samaje Perine profiles as a pending free agent, and Brooks could compete for the RB2 role behind Chase Brown if that spot opens up.
Role Expansion
As the clear next man up, an injury to Chase Brown would immediately hand Brooks a significant, if likely short-term, workload spike.
