Running Back Rank: #19
Overall: #29
An injury-plagued season marred Addai's numbers. He missed four games and had just 544-rushing yards. This is a make or break season for Addai, who hasn't exactly lived up to expectations for the Colts. His career high in rushing came his rookie season, rushing for 1,081 yards. It is still to be determined if Addai can handle the load of being an every-down back, which is likely why the Colts took Donald Brown in this year's draft. Brown will compete with Addai for playing time. Addai is a very fast back with great moves. And he has surprising power and does a good job as a receiver, a must in the Colts offense.

Addai isn't a top-five pick or maybe even a top-10 pick this season. His injury issues are a concern for fantasy owners. But he has great potential in a very good Colts offense. At this point, consider him a guy to take in the later stages of the first round. He can still be a No. 1 back, but he'll be a make or break pick for fantasy teams. If all goes well, he can near 1,800 total yards and double-digit scores. But if he gets hurt again, another season like last year is very possible. |

| Paul Kuharsky, of ESPN.com, reports Indianapolis Colts rookie RB Donald Brown looked very good in the team's preseason opener, but it is too early to tell how much action he will pull away from starting RB Joseph Addai. Head coach Jim Caldwell said a two-back system has always been part of what the team has done. 'It's been really effective. ... We anticipate the same thing will happen with the backs we have now,' Caldwell said. He went on to note the game plan will change week to week, as it comes down to who the team's opposition is. 'So our strategy changes on that a bit, but one thing we do know for sure is there will be some kind of rotation,' Caldwell said of his top two backs. |

| Mike Chappell, of The Indianapolis Star, reports Indianapolis Colts RBs Joseph Addai and rookie Donald Brown will handle the primary workload at running back in 2009. However, Addai is the team's starting running back despite drafting Brown in the first round this year. Addai is healthy after having offseason surgery on his right knee and is motivated by the team taking Brown. Brown will be given every chance to earn significant playing time. He has game-breaking talent the team would like to work in. |
