Running Back Rank: #65 Overall: #307
Brown did little his first season for the Eagles, serving a reserve role at running back. He carried the ball just 42 times and didn't catch a pass. He averaged a career-low 3.2 yards per carry and scored just a touchdown. He even failed to top 150-rushing yards for the year. Brown has averaged fewer than four yards per carry each of the last two seasons. He averaged more than four yards per carry his first five seasons in the league but seems to be showing signs of slowing down. Brown wasn't quite as explosive last season. He is 30 years old and best suited in a reserve role as a third-down or change-of-pace back. Brown is a pretty big back with decent speed and big-play ability. He seems to lack some of the burst of past seasons, though. And Brown is an injury risk, playing a full season just twice in his career. Brown does catch the ball well, having 30-plus catches five times during his career.

Brown isn't likely to have a big rebound season. His best fantasy days are behind him. He could have a couple decent games but will be inconsistent. A season with about 300 total yards and a score or two is expected from Brown. |

| Philadelphia Eagles RB Ronnie Brown averaged 3.2 yards per carry in his first season with the team. That was the worst average by an Eagles player on 40 or more carries since RB Michael Haddix averaged 2.7 yards per carry in 1984. He is scheduled to become a free agent, and is not expected back. |

| Philadelphia Eagles DL Victor Abiamiri, RB Ronnie Brown, DL Antonio Dixon, OT King Dunlap, WR DeSean Jackson, DL Derek Landri, DL Trevor Laws, OG Evan Mathis, FB Owen Schmitt, WR Steve E. Smith and QB Vince Young are all veteran with contracts set to expire, so the team will have decisions to make about their futures. |
| Fantasy Impact: We don't expect Brown to return to the Eagles. Remember, they tried to trade him earlier this season. |
