The Facts:
Both team president Bill Polian and HC Jim Caldwell contend that the drafting of Donald Brown in the first round was not meant to put additional pressure on Addai to improve his overall performance. Rather, they envision continuing the one-two running back rotation that the Colts have employed for the past three seasons. "It's important to have two good backs in your [offensive] system. ... At least two," Caldwell said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In adding former Brown to a backfield rotation that also includes Addai along with backups Mike Hart, Chad Simpson and Lance Ball, Indianapolis opted to bolster an area that had a vacancy due to the recent loss of unrestricted free agent Dominic Rhodes to Buffalo. ... But heading into organized team activities and mini-camps this spring, Addai will continue as the franchise's No. 1 running back. "We are looking at it much like we've looked over the years," Caldwell explained. "Joseph is our No. 1 back. When Donald comes in, he's going to play a role. We're going to give him an opportunity to fit in just like we have with other backs that have been here."
