Donald Brown led the Colts with 70 yards on 16 carries and one yard on one reception against the Falcons in Week 9.
Brown took over as the feature back after Delone Carter fumbled on the first drive. He's the preferred back on passing downs, so the Colts stuck with him after falling behind 21-0 early in the second quarter. Brown is certainly worth rostering in all leagues, but he can't be counted on as a fantasy starter against the Jags in Week 10.
The other problem is HE is terrible; Brown is a pure finesse runner, think C.J. Spiller without the burner speed. He might wind up with 12-15 carries a game going forward, but he's pretty hard to stomach.

IF you're looking forward Indy plays Carolina in Week 12 - A matchup that could bode well for a runner like Brown.

Sure, only problem is the team is terrible. Use him as a desperation pick (no other starters to start)

There's just no upside to this backfield. 6-15 points tops every week. Use only if you have no better option.
