British Brooks: Everything you need to know

Brooks had 13 carries for 63 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over Indianapolis in Week 18. A number of events led to Brooks leading Houston's backfield in both attempts and yardage. In addition to Nick Chubb being a healthy inactive and Jawhar Jordan getting ruled out after an ankle injury, the Texans accepted their fate at halftime that they were not going to vault over Jacksonville for the AFC South title. Once that reality set in, lead back Woody Marks was put on the shelf for the second half, during which Brooks amassed all of his carries.

Brooks played all 19 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. Brooks has been active for each of Houston's last 10 games, but he's been deployed almost exclusively on special teams in those contests. The reserve running back has played just five total snaps on offense across the Texans' last four games.

Brooks had two carries for zero yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9. Brooks was surprisingly allotted two consecutive carries at the goal-line in the first quarter and was stuffed by Denver's interior line on both. Those were two of the five running plays called inside the Broncos' two-yard line during the game that failed to get into the end zone, and Houston failed to produce a touchdown in three red-zone possessions. Brooks has four total carries for 15 yards this season and is a regular on special teams.
