Week 1 Running Back Streamers For Fantasy Football: Jonathon Brooks Is Back
FantasyLife • • sports
Key Points:
- Jonathon Brooks is a potential flex play for Week 1 if he suits up, despite missing some preseason practices; he will share touches with Chuba Hubbard against a Bears defense that allowed significant rushing yards last season.
- Tony Pollard, a consistent 1,000-yard rusher over four seasons, presents a viable flex option against the Jets, who are undergoing defensive changes under new playcaller Aaron Glenn.
- J.K. Dobbins is expected to see ample carries in the Broncos' Monday night matchup at Arrowhead, benefiting from a strong offensive line and a goal to improve the running game against a Chiefs defense ranked 12th in rushing yards allowed.
- These running backs are recommended as stream options or flex plays, particularly for fantasy managers who have reached for RB2 or employed Zero or Hero RB strategies.
- Fantasy players can compare these projections and rankings with other running backs in Fantasy Life's tools and newsletter, trusted by over 400,000 users.
