Haven't seen many updates on him either; but he's projected to take over soon after his return.
I stashed him on both of my fantasy teams so I'm double invested lol

There is zero chance Brooks "takes over".  That's ridiculous.  Chubba is a beast and holds up quite reliably in protection.  That poo ain't easy to learn and most rookie RB lose snaps because of it.  I just don't understand why it's so hard to see that Chubba is one of our better players.

Absolutely. Chuba Hubbard has significantly improved his pass protection and has really adjusted to the league. Just look at Bijan Robinson's struggles against the Chiefs as a prime example of how poor pass protection can hurt a team.

Chuba will continue the lead role, and I’m sure Brooks will gradually find his place as well. I'm excited for both of them and hope we can keep Chuba at a fair price while continuing to develop Brooks for a strong one-two punch.

I think his was going to be a little while (like mid-season) if I remember right, I could be wrong. 

I think Crumedy, Wonnum, Barno, and Dane Jackson are all eligible to come back after the Cincinnati game this week.

Yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up on Brooks for the first half of the season. If he can make it back by the second half of 2024, that will work.

Chuba is playing like a man with a payday ahead of him. Great guy, amazing progress he's made here. I'd love to see Brooks and him doing the double trouble thing here a la Williams and Stewart. 

Right now, Chuba has the reins and he deserves them. Let Brooks come along as he heals and see what happens.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
