Donald Brown is the best thing to come out of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, since... Knowshon Moreno, who was selected 15 picks earlier in the 2009 Draft.


The two played Pee-Wee football together:  Moreno was the quarterback handing off to Brown, the halfback.


That’s your history lesson for the day- chew on it, it tastes good.

Last year, Brown held the first Donald Brown Player-to-Player Leadership conference in Red Bank, New Jersey.  The conference was a seminar for 86 High School athletes from nearby communities and Brown hopes to establish a youth initiative in Indianapolis.  Needless to say, Donald could become the most popular Colt since Barbaro.

Injury Report

Green

Brown missed 5 games last year with various injuries and illnesses, but he's fully recovered for the start of 2010

Breaking News

Donald Brown misses Friday practice expand +

Colts backup running back Donald Brown (foot) participated in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but was held out of drills on Friday. He is being listed as questionable on the injury report but is fully expected to play in the Super Bowl next Sunday.

Pyro's Take:

Brown is sure to play, but we don't expect the rookie to get more than 5-10 touches with fellow RB Joseph Addai playing so well at the moment. Brown has been injured on and off all year, so we'll have to see how he fits into the Colts future plans this coming off-season.

Donald Brown returns to practice Monday expand +

After missing the last three games with a chest injury, Colts rookie running back Donald Brown returned to practice with the team on Monday.

Pyro's Take:

If Brown is healthy enough to play on Sunday, expect Joseph Addai to be extremely limited in his game action as coach Jim Caldwell looks to rest his star players for the playoffs.

Donald Brown out for Thursday night game expand +

The Colts listed Peyton Manning (glute), Reggie Wayne (foot), Pierre Garcon (knee), and Joseph Addai (knee) as probable on their Week 15 injury report and all are expected to start as usual Thursday night.
Donald Brown, however, is still out with a chest injury.

Pyro's Take:

This was expected, though how long they end up playing is the real question. If the Colts manage to get a big lead against the Jaguars tonight, expect the starters to be pulled for the 4th quarter so as not to risk injury. Our guess is that it won't be a blowout, so it's safe to use all these guys on your fantasy football team this weekend.

Donald Brown still not back at practice expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (chest) was still missing from practice on Tuesday while his availability for Thursday night's game is unknown at this point.

Pyro's Take:

We're guessing the Colts continue to go with Joseph Addai and Mike Hart out of the backfield on such a short week of practice, so keep Addai as a high-end RB2 in terms of fantasy football value this week.

Donald Brown ruled out for Week 14 expand +

Colts running back Donald Brown (chest) has been ruled out for Week 14.

Pyro's Take:

Bump Joseph Addai up to a solid RB2 for your fantasy football team this week and keep Brown on the bench for now.

Donald Brown still sitting out expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (chest) is still sitting out practice as no timetable is set for his return at the moment.

Pyro's Take:

Joseph Addai will again be a nice RB2 on your fantasy football team if Brown can't go on Sunday. Keep the kid on your bench for now.

Donald Brown misses Wednesday practice expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (chest) was held out of practice on Wednesday.

Pyro's Take:

After being inactive last week, it doesn't bode well for him to be active in Week 14 now either. With the Colts already talking about resting their starters late in the season, you have to keep this guy around on your fantasy football team just in case.

Donald Brown inactive vs. Titans expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (chest) has been declared inactive for the game against the Titans on Sunday.

Pyro's Take:

Give Addai a boost as far as fantasy football numbers go, but don't expect the world as the Titans have a real solid rush D.

Donald Brown ruled out for Sunday expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (chest) has officially been ruled out for the contest against the Titans on Sunday.

Pyro's Take:

Brown has had an up-and-down rookie year thus far, but he definitely shows a lot of promise. Mark Joseph Addai back up to RB2 fantasy football status with nice upside upon the Donald Brown news.

Donald Brown misses practice, day-to-day expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (chest) missed practice again on Thursday and is being listed as day-to-day. There is a decent chance he won't be able to play this Sunday.

Pyro's Take:

The Colts activated RB Mike Hart from the practice squad, so it's not looking good for Donald. Upgrade Joseph Addai for Week 13 and if you happen to be using Brown for anything on your fantasy football team, look elsewhere this week.

Donald Brown practices in limited fashion Wednesday expand +

Colts running back Donald Brown (chest) practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday but is expected to play this Sunday against the Titans.

Pyro's Take:

Since Joseph Addai has been playing so well as of late, Brown's touches have gone down to the point where he's barely a flex play on your fantasy football team.

Donald Brown sore, but should be ok expand +

According to Colts President Bill Polian, running back Donald Brown's shoulder bothered him a bit during the game, but not enough to inhibit his play on the field. He also said that after the game, the rookie had a bit of a sore back but that it shouldn't be a problem.

Pyro's Take:

Joseph Addai is still getting the goal-line work and the bulk of the touches, so Brown's fantasy football value is still relegated to not much more than a handcuff or emergency flex play.

Donald Brown - Running Back - Colts expand +

Donald Brown completed a full week of practice on Friday and is no longer listed on the Colts' injury report.

Pyro's Take:

Expect the rookie to infringe on 30-40 percent of Addai's touches this weekend minimally, relegating Addai once again back to either a desperation flex option or a fantasy bench-warmer.

Donald Brown returns to full practice Wednesday expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Wednesday and is tentatively expected to be active on Sunday night.

Pyro's Take:

Brown was a late addition to the inactive list last week, but it was likely more of a precaution than anything else. The Colts are going to need all the healthy bodies they can get against the Patriots this Sunday, though he's not a recommended fantasy football play.

Donald Brown inactive against Texans expand +

Colts rookie running back Donald Brown (shoulder) is inactive for the game against the Texans today.

Pyro's Take:

We guess he had a setback either Thursday or Friday, as it seemed early in the week like he was going to give it a go today. If you had him in your fantasy football lineup, make sure to get him out now. And if you happen to have Joseph Addai, he should make for a fine RB2 start today getting the bulk of the carries.
