SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #43   
Overall: #135


Brown had his best season as a pro, finding his way into the starting lineup much of the second half of the season. He ran for 161 yards in Week 15 and had 70 or more rushing yards three times. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry for the season, which was the first time in his career he averaged more than four yards per carry for a season. Brown still lacked some consistency last season and his overall numbers weren't too impressive given the playing time. He didn't cement his spot in the starting lineup with his showing but helped his case for playing time in 2012. Brown has good speed and moves in well in space. He still doesn't have ideal size, hurting his chances some as an every-down back. He catches the ball well, though, and made strides overall in his play.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Brown might have a hard time repeating last season. We doubt he gets that many chances once again. Brown could get 500 or so total yards and a few scores, making him a deep reserve for fantasy teams.
The Indianapolis Colts may decide to split the carries between RBs Delone Carter and Donald Brown in order to keep them both fresh during games.
Fantasy Impact: We'll see. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Colts add another running back to the mix in the draft.

Indianapolis Colts RBs Donald Brown and Delone Carter could split carries this season if the team does not add any other running backs during the offseason.
Fantasy Impact: We would expect the Colts to add another back to the mix but these are the guys right now.

The Indianapolis Colts rush offense piled up 205 yards on the ground in Week 15, their most since posting 226 yards in a game Sept. 30, 2007, against the Denver Broncos. RB Donald Brown had a huge chunk, gobbling up a career-high 161 yards on the ground. That mark was the 16th-best in franchise history, and most since RB Joseph Addai had 171 yards in 2006 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown rushed for 161 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact: Brown has become the top back in the Colts' offense. He has surprised but still isn't a great fantasy option because of his erratic play.

Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown rushed for 80 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact: Brown is the back to use in Indy right now.

Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown rushed for 70 yards on 16 carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9.
Fantasy Impact: Brown got most of the carries after an early fumble by Delone Carter. Brown played well with his chances. He might be earning more work going forward after a few solid showings.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell said RB Donald Brown could receive an increased role in the offense if RB Joseph Addai (hamstring) misses a few weeks.
Fantasy Impact: Delone Carter is the back to own in Indy right now but Brown could get some touches as well.

Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown currently sits third on the team's depth chart at running back behind RBs Joseph Addai and Delone Carter.
Fantasy Impact: It might be only a matter of time before Brown is released. He is falling quickly.
Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown was not used in the second half of the team's Week 16 game because the team decided to lean on RBs Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai at that point, reports Mike Chappell, of The Indianapolis Star.
Fantasy Impact: You can't trust any of the Colts backs at this point of the season.
Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown rushed just 14 times during a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but totaled 129 yards and one touchdown. He also caught one pass for four yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact: It was easily his best game of the season, but Brown remains an iffy fantasy play because of his erratic play all season.
