I made a 2-for-1 trade and have one roster spot available. My RBs are currently Slaton, Parker, Sproles, Stewart (BN). The ww has Donald Brown, Jamaal Charles, Glen Coffee, James Davis, and Fred Jackson. Im leaning towards Brown or Davis here because the situations they are in. Coffee may get some pt if Gore gets hurt and Jackson is a good look here, but Lynch is still the starter and returns after 3 games; Jackson's value will take a hit. Im not sure about Charles, no in KC looks good right now with Cassel hurt and OC gone. Any thoughts?
I would go with Brown for sure. He's splitting time with Addai, but I like his chances to wrestle that job away after a few weeks. At worst, it's a time share because Addai has proven he can't carry the load. At best, Addai gets hurt or outplayed and you have a solid starting RB on a prolific offense. Jackson and Davis are intriguing, but both play in low-scoring offenses and aren't "the man."

I'd go James Davis. He's the most likely to get a FT starting job anytime soon. Right now I'd put his upside far ahead of Brown. I see Brown being more of a split time guy at best for the entire year. Would you be shocked if Davis was a starter by week 4 or 5? I wouldn't.
I would go with Brown today, but I am keeping a close eye on Coffee. He has looked very solid in the preseason. If Gore gets dinged up along the way Coffee could step right into a great situation.
Fred Jackson is great if you need a replacement starter in the first 3 weeks with Lynch out. If I had to choose one of the others I'd say Brown. Addai is always injured and Brown was an absolute stud at UConn.
Either Brown or Davis. I am leaning towards Brown right now but Davis is rising quick and if rumors they will release Lewis are true then you gotta go Davis I would think.
I'd definately go with Brown. He should be seeing probably 40% of the carries IMO.
Coffee ane Davis are good choices too, but their respective passing games aren't that great. Indy's passing game will really open things up for Addai & Brown.
With your last roster spot you should go with the guy with the most upside. I think that's Brown. I think he could be as effective as Johnathan Stewart last year.
Davis averaged a stuning 7.8YPC in the preseasn with 2 TDs.
Browns now talk about Jamal Lewis not even making the final roster :O
Harrison is banged up, Davis will be the starter come week one.
Brown looks great in all, but remember Panters situation last year when they drafted stewart? That lit a fire in DeAngelo, and he looked like LT. THe same can happen with Addai. even so..its a split.
Go with davis on this one, with a close eye on both Brown, and Coffee.
