The Read: Brooks is an old-school volume back dropped into a modern depth-chart math problem. The rookie season did not create immediate fantasy heat, but the college résumé is not fluff: school records in carries, rushing yards, and 100-yard games, plus enough receiving work to avoid being a one-note plodder. The dynasty angle is cheap role patience. If Cincinnati needs a sturdy chain-mover behind the top of the room, Brooks has already proved he can live on workload without melting.
