Jonathon Brooks set for first NFL preseason action
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will appear in Carolina's first preseason game Saturday against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Per Adam Schefter, citing reporter Mike Kaye, it will be the first preseason game of Brooks' NFL career.
Brooks is in his third year with the Panthers but has not appeared in a preseason game at the NFL level before this. Saturday gives managers their first real look at him in live action.
What to watch for fantasy purposes
For dynasty managers especially, this game matters. Watch his snap share, how he is deployed in the backfield, and whether he gets work in passing situations. Redraft managers tracking the Panthers depth chart should note how much of the first-team or second-team workload he handles.
If Brooks shows up with meaningful touches Saturday, he moves up the watch list heading into the regular season.
