Green Bay Packers have signed RB Chris Brooks to active roster.
Green Bay Packers have promoted running back Chris Brooks to the active roster. This move comes due to rookie MarShawn Lloyd landing on the injured reserve. Brooks will serve as the third running back for the Packers, behind work horse RB Josh Jacobs, and backup Emanuel Wilson.
For fantasy purposes is one to monitor in case Jacobs or Wilson has an injured. But for now, he can be left off fantasy teams.

Rookie De’Von Achane is expected to miss the Dolphins’ Week 1 contest versus the Chargers.
The highly anticipated debut of De’Von Achane will be put on ice as it appears that he will miss the Week 1 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Achane was drafted in the third round out of Texas A&M but unfortunately has been dealing with a shoulder injury since injuring it during the Dolphins’ preseason game versus the Texans. The rookie was looking like an excellent sleeper for Week 1, especially after Jeff Wilson landed on the IR early this week, but now managers have to wait to see if he can be ready for Week 2.
With Achane inactive, look for Raheem Mostert to handle the majority of the touches and be a possible RB2 for fantasy managers for Week 1. Mostert should be inserted into line-ups as either an RB2 or Flex play this week. In deeper PPR leagues Salvon Ahmed could be picked up as a really deep Flex option. In dynasty leagues, also consider adding Chris Brooks since he will be active today and could surprise many fantasy managers and garner some touches as well.
