Running Back Rank: #41
Overall: #145
Brown continues his downward trend. He played every game last season, which is a plus for him, but ran for just 734 yards and averaged a career-low 3.7 yards per carry. Despite getting double-digit carries in all but three games, Brown failed to top 100-rushing yards in any game. Brown has just one 1,000-yard season for his career. He has flashed potential, but injuries and a lack of consistency have held him back. And at age 29, his best days are behind him. He is best suited for a backup or platoon role at this stage of his career, which he'll serve with the Eagles. Brown should be a good fit for the offense, having 30 or more catches in all but one season of his career. Brown is a pretty big back with good speed and big-play ability. He seems to lack some of the burst of past seasons, though. And Brown is an injury risk, playing a full season just twice in his career.

Brown isn't likely to have a big rebound season in a backup role. His best fantasy days are behind him. He could have a couple big games but will be inconsistent. A season with about 700 total yards and five scores is expected from Brown. He is a low-end No. 3 or 4 back for fantasy teams. |

| Philadelphia Eagles RB Ronnie Brown averaged 3.2 yards per carry in his first season with the team. That was the worst average by an Eagles player on 40 or more carries since RB Michael Haddix averaged 2.7 yards per carry in 1984. He is scheduled to become a free agent, and is not expected back. |

| Philadelphia Eagles DL Victor Abiamiri, RB Ronnie Brown, DL Antonio Dixon, OT King Dunlap, WR DeSean Jackson, DL Derek Landri, DL Trevor Laws, OG Evan Mathis, FB Owen Schmitt, WR Steve E. Smith and QB Vince Young are all veteran with contracts set to expire, so the team will have decisions to make about their futures. |
| Fantasy Impact: We don't expect Brown to return to the Eagles. Remember, they tried to trade him earlier this season. |
