Colts placed RB Donald Brown (ankle) and FB Robert Hughes on season-ending injured reserve.
We suspected a high-ankle sprain after Brown was ruled out so quickly last week. The transaction is welcome news for the workload of Vick Ballard, who faces Houston's stout run defense in two of the next three weeks.

Solid flex play. If Carter is out too, high end RB2.

Would you start him over Bryce Brown?

Only if McCoy is back playing would I even consider this. Houston gets killed through the air but not on the ground.

No. Not even with Delone Carter out. Indy is pass first all the way and HOU's run defense is better than their pass defense.

Would you rather play Ballard at flex or David Wilson if Bradshaw is out?

I think Bradshaw definitely plays so Ballard over Wilson. IF Bradshaw is out I roll with Wilson in the high upside play.

I'm going to try and grab him in case McCoy comes back and he and Bryce Brown split carries.
Unfortunately he's playing the Texans this week though...
