Chris Brooks
RB
Green Bay PackersIR
- Teammate Christian Watson (a top target) is questionable.
- Backfield mate MarShawn Lloyd is questionable, so Brooks could see more carries.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Lions in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against Lions in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Chris Brooks should do vs the LionsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Lions, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Chris Brooks has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Lions opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Chris Brooks will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Lions avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Chris Brooks's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Chris Brooks usually produces.
Projected is Chris Brooks's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Lions were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Brooks averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Chris BrooksGood confidence · 2.6 proj ptsOut
- Chris Brooks averages 3.1 PPR points over 4 games (recent-weighted 3.2) and has played as the team's RB2.
- The Lions have allowed 4.2 points to RB2s over 6 games (-18% vs league). The model applies 67% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -12% adjustment.
- Last season's average (2.3) is blended in at 33% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: IR. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 2.6 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreChris Brooks vs the Lions
Prediction for Chris Brooks
Nobody knows which slot Chris Brooks will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Lions.
I predict about 2.6 points for Chris Brooks if playing as a RB2. Chris Brooks has averaged 3.1 over 4 games, and the Lions have given up 4.2 to RB2s (-18% vs the league average of 5.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Chris Brooks scored: Wk 1 2.9, Wk 2 3.6, Wk 3 1.4, Wk 4 4.5. Average 3.1; weighted toward recent games it is 2.9.
2. The defense. Over 6 games, the Lions allowed 4.2 points to their opponent's RB2. The league average for that slot is 5.1, so that is -18%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 6 defensive games, only 67% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -12% adjustment (x0.88).
4. Result. 2.9 x 0.88 = 2.6. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Chris Brooks is to reach it as a RB2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (2.6) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 1.4 points, leaning on Chris Brooks's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 3.
With only 4 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
