1/2 - Colts Simpson out; big day for Brown v. Bills

Colts running back/kick returner Chad Simpson has been ruled out of Sunday’s regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills due to a concussion. While Simpson isn’t big fantasy news, we report it on the off chance that you picked up Simpson from the wire because Donald Brown had already been scooped up. With Simpson out and Joseph Addai and other Colts starters likely to sit out or see limited action, expect Donald Brown to see significant action in Week 17’s matchup against a weak Buffalo run defense. Brown’s back up will be third string running back Mike Hart.

Bruno Boys Take: Joseph Addai and Chad Simpson should not be in your starting lineup this week. Consider Donald Brown a solid RB2 fantasy play against the Bills. If you have limited options at running back, Mike Hart should see eight to ten carries, but we don’t project him to have much fantasy value.
