Fantasy Football Waiver Wire 2013: Top 10 Week 12 pickups
7. Donald Brown-RB-Indianapolis Colts (7.8%)
Brown is definitely emerging as a flex option despite being mired in a backfield timeshare with Trent Richardson. Richardson has gotten nothing going, but Brown looked effective this week against the Titans. He rushed for a pair of touchdowns and 80 yards on 14 carries and had an additional catch for 14 yards.
Brown is very involved in the Colts passing attack, and in week ten had a receiving touchdown in the Colts tough loss to the Rams. He has been sharing touches almost evenly with Richardson, and although he doesn’t look like he’ll take over, he’s definitely earned his part or the timeshare.
The Colts remaining schedule is a mix with the Cardinals, Bengals, and Chiefs mixed in along with the Titans and Texans. This week he faces the Cardinals who allow the second-fewest points per game to opposing RBs.
