Fantasy Impact: If you were counting on Brown in your fantasy lineup this week, get started on finding a suitable replacement. For the Colts, this mean that Vick Ballard should get the start in Week 6 against the New York Jets, with Mewelde Moore and Delone Carter also possibly seeing touches. None of the three running backs have played much, nor been particularly effective this season. Unless you are absolutely desperate, you are better off waiting to see how the situation shakes out this weekend before making any roster decisions.
