Green Bay Packers back up running back Chris Brooks has earned an increase in snaps as of late.
Running back Chris Brooks of the Green Bay Packers has seen an uptick in usage and snaps over the last four weeks. Brooks has earned at least a 20% snap share during that span. This includes week 12 game where he set a season high 35% snap share. Brooks has earned five touches in two of the previous three contests.
Emmanuel Wilson, the back up to Jacobs for most of the season, has not earned more than 25% of snaps since week six. That being said, Wilson has still out touched Brooks during that span.
The emergence of Brooks has not impacted Josh Jacobs role in anyway. However, it has created a murky situation if Jacobs were to go down with an injury late season. Brooks is worth monitoring in any size of league given this potential.
