Colts running back Donald Brown will be seeking for more touches in a favorable macthup against the Texans in Week 9.

Brown seems to be a better fit for Indianapolis' offense early on and has been more productive than Trent Richardson as of late. Brown gained 23 yards and got a season-high 11 carries in Week 7 against Denver. He also caught three passes for a season-high 42 yards. Richardson on has two catches out of the backfield since joining the Colts.

Brown will face a Houston defense that has allowed 122.1 yards per game on the ground, which is the fifth most allowed in the league. Opposing running backs have scored 16.57 Fantasy points per game against the Texans this season.

Although there's a chance that he'll get just about the same amount of touches as Richardson, Fantasy owners should still seek better alternatives this week. Consider him a low-end option in deeper formats heading into Week 9.
