Same boat. Feel hart is safer but I can see me starting hart and watching brown get the lions share. Not sure where I'm leaning.
And this is a WDIS, I just got stick of the Shanahan/DMac thread.

The shark move would have been Blount yesterday. Instead I went with Brown tonight.

(RotoWire) Brown (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Mike Hart is officially listed as the starter, but Hart and Brown will likely share the workload. It's tough to predict who will get the most opportunities, but if you're deciding between the two, we like Brown slightly better from a fantasy perspective.

Not sure here. A hamstring injury can easily rear up and Brown will be out (think Revis against the Pats a few weeks ago). I agree that Brown has more upside but all it takes is a tightening hammy and Hart will be getting the majority of touches. Looks like Brown fully participated on Saturday though...
Who is better/has had more success at picking up the blitz?

The thing about Hart, is its not like he was just picked up. He been off and on the Colts for multiple years. I think they will be happy with him picking up the blitz. From what I have seen, Brown has struggled somehwhat at blitz pickup. That being said, I think its a toss up.

I'm starting Brown as my RB3 but my week has been shot to hell so barring a miracle tonight from Brown and Tamme I'm done. I'm basically going to start him and see how he looks and use tonight as an evaluation period as to whether I want to keep him long-term with Addai possibly out for awhile.
I think Brown has a higher upside since he's the more explosive player. I think Hart is the safer choice tonight and might be a better bet for goal-line looks although I'm not sure there's a large enough sample size for either player in that area. But given how I think this game should be a high-scoring affair, I think Brown's big-play potential could be something the Colts want to utilize. So I'm going to toss him in with minimal expectations and see what happens.

Okay, so WDIS threads are fine now as long as you say that it isn't WDIS thread. Got it.

Or it could be that Brown is fine, but they have to give the nod to Hart because he's done all the work in the last month.

Hart might just be the better player.

He's looking real good. Touches have been pretty much evenly split but Hart is making a lot more happen. He runs hard whereas Brown is running very soft. Hart is very impressive so far.

ESPN crew saying Brown got hurt again tonight. It's amazing how soft this guy is.

I think it says more about Houston's poor defense than their line, which isn't exactly known for being great run blockers. Still, Hart looked much better than Brown, and about as good as Addai usually does. He should be in the mix the rest of the way as long as he is healthy.

If the Colts re-sign Addai next year, Donald Brown will be third on the depth chart.
hart looks to have a ton better instincts than brown. hart fell was never a great draft prospect due to middling size and combine numbers and since has torn his acl. no way he is as athletic as brown but he finds the holes and makes timely cuts for extra yards. its possible brown is still hampered or simply not in game shape after sitting for so long.

brown looked like a horrendous runner but i watched him a couple times in pass protection and never saw him slip up

Mike Hart looked better in one night running the ball than Addai has in 3 years.

This schtick is funny. Hart didn't look as good as Addai did 2 weeks ago.
