Breaking news from the Houston Chronicle suggests that Steve Slaton will likely be held out of Sunday's game against the Jags due to numbness in his arm resulting from a shoulder injury.
That means a big upgrade for Chris Brown (pictured), who's been splitting carries with Slaton over the past couple of weeks. I suppose Ryan Moats will get some additional action as well, but the real beneficiary should be Brown.
If you need RB help this week -- especially if you were planning to roll with Slaton -- Brown's a decent start. The Jags are playing the run well, however; so don't expect a huge day. But 100 total yards and a TD are not out of the question.
