2. Donald Brown-Indianapolis Colts (39.8%)

Although it may not be a titanic shift in the workload, it looks as if Brown will be the starter and Trent Richardson will slide to the backup role for the rest of the season, but the two will continue to share carries.

This week, he got 14 carries to Richardson’s five. He had the lone rushing TD to go with his 54 yards and added 10 yards on a pair of catches out of the backfield. In PPR leagues, he does have a bit more value since he is definitely involved in the Indy passing game.

Brown and the Colts offense have had a pair of ugly games in their last four, but coming down the stretch they play Cincy, Houston, KC, and Jacksonville so there is definitely some value in picking up a the rare available starting running back this late in the season.
