Fantasy Football: 5 Sleeper RB’s to Help You Win Your Playoffs
3. Donald Brown-Indianapolis Colts
Brown is the new starter in Indianapolis as he takes over for the ineffective Trent Richardson. In his first week as stater he faced the Titans and finished with 54 yards and a touchdown on his 14 carries while catching a pair of passes for 10 more yards.
Brown should continue to be heavily involved as a receiver and get plenty of goal line looks making him a great addition in the over half of ESPN leagues that he can still be found on the waiver wire.
Coming down the stretch his matchups are so-so with a toug Cincinnati D up this week followed by Houston, Kansas City, and finishing with a nice one against Jacksonville. Brown’s sleeper status here isn’t because of his matchups, but because of his opportunity. Richardson may still steal some touches, but Brown should get every opportunity to make plays for Indianapolis as they try to get their offense back on track after a couple of tough weeks.
