Jonathon Brooks

Carolina Panthers · Running backRB2

Jonathon Brooks is on reserve / ir and cannot play. Roster status as of the week-3 roster, which persists until he is activated, so no week-4 projection is produced for him. His usage and history are below. See the rest of the Carolina Panthers room →

Jonathon Brooks has no full prior season to anchor to, so this week’s projection leans on his 2 games of current-season usage alone — treat it as a thinner read than a veteran’s.

Returning from a missed week. Players in their first game back come in about a third of a reception below recent form, so this projection is held down rather than reading his last line straight across.

Game log

Game	Opp	Snap share	Target share	Tgt	Rec	Rec yds	Car	Rush yds	TD	We said
26 wk2	ATL	30%	3.1%	1	1	-5	5	16	0	—

“We said” is the projection as it was published that week, stored before the game, with the miss beside it. Re-running today’s model on a past week would grade a model that did not exist when the number went out, so those weeks show a dash instead.

Career by season

Role is the part of a player that carries. Snap share repeats at 0.98 between halves of a season and target share at 0.96, so this line is a far better guide to what comes next than a points total would be.
