The good news for Colts running back Donald Brown: his 16 touches in Week 13 were a season high, and the game marked the second time in three with Brown getting 15 or more touches. Additionally, Trent Richardson was relegated to backup duty, and Brown scored his third touchdown in three games.
The bad news: Fourteen carries are still kind of low for a starting running back (for Fantasy purposes, at least), and Brown is facing a Bengals defense in Week 14 that has been brutal on opposing running backs. The Bengals haven't allowed a running back to score a touchdown since Week 4. They've only given up three touchdowns on the season to running backs. And only Lamar Miller and Johnathan Franklin have run for over 100 yards.
Brown has a bigger role on his team, which gives him a nice uptick in value. But his Week 14 situation makes Brown a tough start, even with his recent success in finding the end zone. He's a borderline flex play in deeper Fantasy formats.
