Jonathon Brooks Dynasty Value

Waited two full years behind the depth chart at Texas before erupting as a junior, 1,139 rushing yards, 6.1 yards per carry, and 114 rushing yards per game in 10 games with 25 catches for 286 receiving yards. The patience paid off in the most convincing way possible: the receiving development from 0.2 to 2.5 receptions per game is dramatic and suggests a true three-down projection that wasn't visible in the early career. 216 pounds with no combine forty on file, which is a meaningful blind spot for a back going in the second round. Broke 100 yards in 47% of his 19 career games despite minimal early usage. A 35% carry share in a loaded Texas backfield means the full workload has never been tested, but the per-touch efficiency at 6.2 career yards per carry is outstanding. R2.46 for a back whose one elite season is convincing enough to make him the first runner off the board.
