Chargers agreed to terms with RB Donald Brown, formerly of the Colts, on a three-year, $10.5 million contract.

The deal includes $4 million guaranteed. With the Chargers already having Danny Woodhead and Ryan Mathews, this one is a definite head scratcher. Mathews is coming off a breakout year, while Woodhead is due just $1.75 million after another strong season. It's worth noting that Bolts GM Tom Telesco is the Colts' former VP of football operations. He clearly has a soft spot for "Dammit Donald," who seemed like a lost cause until picking up the pieces for Trent Richardson last season. He'll likely serve as a deluxe Ronnie Brown, catching passes and picking up blitzes, though he's never been a terribly effective pass protector.

The Nashville Tennessean's Jim Wyatt "wouldn't be surprised" if the Titans "poked around" free agents Donald Brown and Ben Tate.

Both Tate and Brown have spent the past four years in the Titans' division. Brown shredded Tennessee in two games with the Colts last season, and would be a more logical committee partner for Shonn Greene. Tate would figure to become the Titans' clear feature back. He has far more talent than Greene.

The Colts are expected to make impending free agent Donald Brown a "reasonable offer."

The light finally flipped on for "Dammit Donald" in his fifth NFL season as he rushed 102 times for 537 yards (5.26 YPC) with six touchdowns. The Colts can't afford to overpay him though, as they've already given up the No. 26 overall pick in the draft for Trent Richardson. Vick Ballard (torn ACL) is also expected to return healthy. Brown is our No. 8 unrestricted free agent running back available.

Donald Brown rushed 17 times for 63 yards in Indianapolis' Divisional Round loss to the Patriots.

He added one catch for three yards. Brown out-touched Trent Richardson 18-3, and 33-4 for the postseason. An impending free agent, Brown hits the open market on the back of his best campaign as a pro. Both his 5.3 yards per carry and six rushing touchdowns were new career highs, as was his 27/214/2 line as a receiver. Brown is never going to live up to his first-round pedigree, but has morphed from "Dammit Donald" to a solid pro. He's Rotoworld's No. 8 free-agent back. The Colts are all but certain to handcuff T-Rich with a veteran free agent who could be thrust into a starting role, and there's a strong chance they stick with Brown.

Donald Brown rushed 11 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Indy's Wild Card win over the Chiefs, adding four catches for 47 yards and an additional touchdown.

Donald Brown rushed 12 times for 31 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for four yards in the Colts' Week 17 win over the Jaguars.

Brown opened Sunday's scoring with a one-yard goal-line leap over the top to give Indy an early 7-0 lead. They wouldn't trail from then on. Brown finishes the best regular season of his career with a 102-557-6 line as a rusher and 27 receptions, two of which went for scores. He'll remain the more dynamic half of a timeshare with Trent Richardson during January's playoffs.

Donald Brown (stinger) is absent from the Colts' Week 17 injury report.

Coming off one of his better games of the season, Brown will be in for 10-15 touches in the Colts' Week 17 playoff tune up against the Jaguars.

Donald Brown (stinger) is practicing again Thursday.

Brown has been fully cleared and is ready to rock. Unfortunately, he'll has a tough spot at Kansas City and will be sharing reps with Trent Richardson. Fantasy owners in Super Bowls should be reaching higher.

Donald Brown (stinger) is practicing Wednesday.

So much for owners dusting the cobwebs off Trent Richardson in fantasy's Super Bowl week. Brown's stinger turned out to be a mere scare and it looks like he's been cleared to suit up against the Chiefs Sunday. He'll form a value-crushing committee with T-Rich while newly signed Shaun Draughn sticks to special teams.

The Colts consider Donald Brown (stinger) day to day.

We're assuming the "stinger" is to Brown's neck, though there's been no official word. It's a day-to-day injury, but as Cowboys ILB Sean Lee has proven, it can be an extremely tricky one. Brown should be considered no better than 50-50 for Week 16. Trent Richardson turned in a predictably middling performance in Brown's absence against the Texans, and wouldn't be more than a mid-range FLEX option for the fantasy finals if Brown can't go.

Donald Brown never returned to Indianapolis' Week 15 win over the Texans after departing in the first quarter with a "stinger."

Donald Brown was forced from Indianapolis' Week 15 game against the Texans with a stinger, and is questionable to return.

Donald Brown rushed for 11 yards on four carries in Week 14 versus the Bengals.

Coach Chuck Pagano said he started Donald Brown Sunday because Brown he "earned the opportunity."

Brown has been badly outplaying Trent Richardson ever since the trade with Cleveland. The situation came to a head against the Titans as Brown played 52 snaps and Richardson saw just 13. "We're always trying to just make decisions based on what's best for the team and what gives us the best chance to win," Pagano said. Brown will be the feature back against the Bengals in Week 14, leaving T-Rich as a change-of-pace option.

Donald Brown rushed for one yards on two carries and caught one pass for a two-yard loss in Week 12 against the Cardinals.

The Colts were getting blown out early, so you'd think Brown would have been a bigger part of the offense with the Colts throwing the ball a ton. That wasn't the case. Trent Richardson was the guy in the backfield. He didn't have any success once again, totaling 26 yards on nine touches. Brown and the Colts get the Titans at home next week. Brown rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns against them in Week 11. He's the preferred flex play in the Indy backfield.

The Indianapolis Star does not anticipate the Colts promoting Donald Brown into the starting lineup over Trent Richardson.

Coach Chuck Pagano indicated the Colts will "ride the hot hand," and Brown has had it for most of the year in Indy. The Colts are still expected to "continue to divide carries" between disappointing in-season acquisition Richardson and normal change-of-pace back Brown. If "a guy gets hot, you can always go with the hot hand," Pagano said. "But I like the way we're doing things now."

Donald Brown rushed 14 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Indianapolis' Week 11 win over the Titans, adding one catch for 14 yards.

As has become custom, Brown out-gained Trent Richardson 94-53, and out-touched him 8-2 in the fourth quarter. Brown was on the field for all the Colts' biggest plays, and averaged 5.7 yards per carry to T-Rich's 2.8. Brown had some very impressive runs, finding the hole quickly and getting up field in a hurry. Basically, the opposite of what Richardson has been doing. Having now out-gained T-Rich in two straight games, and three of the past four, Brown will be the Colts' running back to FLEX in Week 12 against the Cardinals' sturdy run defense.

Donald Brown rushed six times for 49 yards in Sunday night's Week 9 win over the Texans.

Brown played behind Trent Richardson in a change-of-pace role and continues to be the more effective back. He was limited to just six carries with the Colts playing from behind in the second half and didn't factor into the passing game. Brown should continue to cut into Richardson's workload going forward and is the preferred passing down option. He's still nothing more than a RB4 in re-draft leagues.

Donald Brown had 11 carries for 23 yards in Sunday night's Week 7 win over the Broncos.

He added three catches for 42 yards. Brown had by far his biggest workload of the season, but failed to do anything with his carries. He was used in a committee with Trent Richardson in the second half and remains the Colts preferred passing-down back. Brown has limited fantasy value, but isn't worth owning as a handcuff to Richardson.

Donald Brown rushed for 15 yards on three carries in Week 6 against the Chargers.

Brown reeled in both of his passing-game targets for 19 yards. He's nothing more than a change-of-pace back. Brown is off the fantasy radar.
