Chris Brown stock rising...

[Gunslinger]

In my other league I bumped him up even more...I really believe he's a solid #2.

I'm starting to think that, too. With all the question marks around he's looking like a good #2 indeed. I still worry about his ability to stay healthy, but it really looks like he'll be producing when he's out there.

[NittanyLions]

I got him in the last round in one of my earlier leagues, started out as a 5th RB, looking like a really good steal here

[TheHeat24]

I must say he looked really good tonight... and hopefully the way the short yardage team performed tonight will open up the door for him to be in that package as well which will increase his td totals...

[Azrael]

I'm starting to like Brown as well. He might be a better option than the DD, Barlow, Rudi, S. Davis type backs.

w/ Henry as my #2 pick, thank God for C Brown....

Is Brown not currently in the short yardage team? Will he be getting goalline carries this year?

That obviously has huge implications. This year is crazy. I only play one important league and we always draft after the final preseason game. So far all my later round steals are either blowing up or getting traded to Miami. I was hoping to get Kevin Jones, Chris Brown, or Westbrook in the 6th. Not anymore!

One of the reasons the goalline carries are so important is that last year I think EG was top 5 in Red Zone attempts. Obviuosly he didn't convert that many - but I'm sure this year's starting back will get alot of opportunities.

[ammotroop]

On alot of my leagues he was just sitting on the waiver wire. I just picked him up as taking a chance.

Thats him in my Avatar. I am from Tenn and a HUGE titans fan, so hopefully he can be a savior at the RB slot!

Last I heard, Brown was to be an everydown back. In preseason so far it seems Smith is getting the short yardage carries. With yesterdays (7) carries for (8) yards, I hope Brown gets those as well. It seemed every play Smith ran was "no gain". His long was an 8yd run. The Cleveland game he went (4) carries for (18) yds with another long run of 8yds. I didn't follow the ticker on that game, but it doens't look like he did much better against CLEs run D. I can't believe I just said CLE run D, it makes it sound like they have one.

[ammotroop]

I hope he does get the short yardage runs too. BUt we have to be realistic. The coaching staff does not want to run him to the ground like they did EG. I am just excited the titans have a back who can break for 50 yard runs. lets get the season started.

Although his style is very similar to EGs, the change to more of a passing attack will help. EG was seen as the only weapon at that time. That is a good part of the reason he wore down so much. With McNair being the focus now, Brown should be able to play without the wear EG experienced.
