Joseph Addai was a top-tier fantasy back for a couple of seasons, then 2008 happened. An injured Addai had a terrible season, so much so that he became an afterthought in some drafts. When the Colts drafted Donald Brown, there was a decided shift in fantasy attitudes towards Addai, and it wasn’t positive.
Addai Back from the Dead?
↵Maybe Addai was buried too soon. His Week 1 performance made Tom Carpenter over at SI.com a happy fantasy owner, considering he has Addai and Brown on his roster.
↵↵Brown certainly has plenty of talent, enough that I would have drafted him even if I didn’t have Addai, but I’ll honestly be surprised if Addai doesn’t handle about two-thirds of the touches. If that holds true, Addai will be at worst an RB2 — and at best, a top-five back.
