Colts running back Donald Brown could have a tough time Week 12 against the Cardinals.
Arizona has been the second best team against opposing running backs, holding them to just 11.80 Fantasy points per game. Through 10 games, the team has allowed just four rushing touchdowns. The team has done a great job preventing running backs from getting anything going, allowing an average of 67.20 yards per game to running backs.
Last week, Brown seemed to distance himself from Trent Richardson in the run game. Brown received 14 carries to Richardson's eight, and managed to score two touchdowns. Richardson, however, was a much bigger factor in the passing game, snagging five receptions. While it seems Brown is the much better runner, the team has been hesistant to completely faze Richardson out of the offense. Brown might be the better play, but he's still a risky bet, especially against Arizona.
