Any one rolling the dice on Donald Brown this week (1 Viewer)

[atcdav]

MNF, so lots of risk here. Looks like he has had a few good practices and is ready to roll. IS it worth the risk without a plan B for Monday nite

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Starting him over Addai (duh), and Thomas Jones in a one RB required setting.

Still thinking about starting him in another league, maybe over Torain (have Mendenhall and SJax going as well) FWIW

 

[Ralph's Plantation]

Starting him but I have Mike Hart on my bench just in case of a last minute inactive.

He's on my bench now, but debating whether to insert him for either Barber (RB) or Burleson (Flex). Tempted to replace Burleson, but gotta do a little more digging.

I have both Brown and Hart, but am leery of starting either, as I could easily see a 50-50 split, or the Colts basically throwing just about every down and neither getting double digit carries.

My other options this week aren't great: Fred Jackson and BJGE, but I might roll with Jackson and hope for the best.

This is what I am worried about. I have D Ward to insert. But right now I am leaning on S Moss on Sunday. I just have a bad feeling about Was in DET

This is what I fear a bit as well. Split carries, or a 7 carry effort for Brown even if he's the bellcow...

How can you bench Thomas Jones to play Brown? KC is playing Buffalo and the Bills are one of the worst teams against the rush.

Good point.... Hmmmmm

Agreed, if I had Thomas Jones I wouldn't even be considering Brown.

I think we just don't know...either way, Hart could get GL carries, Brown catches. Am starting Lynch over 'them'.

Crunch time to start either D Brown or J Stewart over bye week player M Turner.

So far leaning on and hoping for D Brown Not overly confident

Stewart, no question. No competition for carries. Could carry to rock 20+ times easily.

 

[GoBills02]

Footballguys has a very high ranking on him (10) I went to 3 other sites and the highest ranking was 30th. Scared me a little as he was available, but rolling with LaGarette Blount!

 

[griff321]

To be honest I just do not like Don at all. Only having one full practice and a history of less then inspiring pass blocking skills does not leave me feeling confident.

 

[X42]

I flipped a coin. I'm starting L.Blount over D.Brown.

Yes, conventional wisdom says just that Renegade. However, conventional wisdom has not exactly lived up to its expectations. I started thinking that Stewart could possible breakout with 2-3 TD's and 100 yards...it could happen. For some reason I'm rolling the dice with D Brown with motivation on MNF to break out.

Just my opinion, but I'd go with the known (Stewart) over the unknown (Brown). You know Stewart will be the feature back plus get the goal line carries, if there are any. With Brown, we just won't know until the game unfolds.
