Caps off campaign with score
Brown rushed nine times for 26 yards and a touchdown and caught a six-yard pass during Sunday's 31-24 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Brown finished off a frustrating season for the Rams with 255 rushing yards and five touchdowns -- both career-high marks. However, it was still a disappointing fantasy campaign after the backup scored twice Week 1. An ankle injury cost him two games in the middle of the season, and Brown only played sparingly after returning to the field Week 10. However, he once again proved to be a capable rusher when given an opportunity, especially inside the red zone. Brown begins the final season of a…read more

Barely plays in loss
Brown rushed once for negative yardage and failed to catch his only target during Saturday's 34-31 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: It was an uneventful evening for the backup rusher, and Brown has only seen the field for 17 offensive snaps the past two weeks. However, with the Rams eliminated from the playoffs, there's potential for Brown to receive more playing time in a meaningless Week 17 contest against Arizona.

No tread in blowout loss
Brown didn't receive a touch in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Rams' backfield fell victim to the Cowboys getting out to a quick lead, as Jared Goff heaved 51 passes. Todd Gurley was the team's only running back to garner a touch, as he rushed 11 times for 20 yards and a touchdown while catching three passes for 18 yards and another score. Gurley's looking as healthy as ever with 19 and 23 carries in the two games preceding this contest, so Brown's fantasy value is negligible for Week 16's matchup against the 49ers.

Finds end zone in win
Brown rushed five times for 21 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-12 win over Seattle.
Analysis: This was the backup's fourth touchdown of the season, and he once again rushed effectively for the Rams when given the opportunity. Brown's fantasy upside remains limited, as he isn't receiving enough carries to move the needle. Additionally, No. 1 running back Tood Gurley is healthy and running better and better as the season progresses.

Effective in win over Cards
Brown rushed six times for 30 yards during Sunday's 34-7 win over Arizona. He played just 18 of 79 offensive snaps.
Analysis: While it's been a downhill season for the backup after he started the campaign with two touchdowns Week 1, this was an improved showing for Brown. No. 1 running back Todd Gurley ran all over the Cardinals, and Brown also found success with 12- and nine-yard rushes. However, Brown's fantasy value is minimal with Gurley healthy and Darrell Henderson also mixing into the rushing attack.

Ready for Week 12
Brown (personal) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game versus Baltimore, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Brown didn't practice Thursday and Friday while awaiting the birth of his child, but he returned as a full participant for Saturday's session. The 26-year-old should serve his usual role Monday as Todd Gurley's top backup.

Still away from team
Brown missed Friday's practice because he's still awaiting the birth of his child, 105.7 The Fan reports.
Analysis: Brown missed a second consecutive day of practice but remains confident that he'll be able to play Monday night. Should Brown fail to come through on his promise, Darrell Henderson will see an increased workload against the red-hot Ravens.

Awaiting birth of child
Brown wasn't in attendance for Thursday's practice while he awaits the birth of his child, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: According to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, Brown has told the Rams he intends to rejoin the team at some point before Monday's game against the Ravens, though it's unclear how much practice time he'll be in store for this week. In the event the Rams decide to limit Brown's role in the Week 12 game plan, Darrell Henderson would step in as the top complement to lead back Todd Gurley.

Vultures touchdown in win
Brown carried the ball five times for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Coach Sean McVay finally let starter Todd Gurley eclipse the 20-touch mark in a pseudo must-win game, which led to Brown seeing just five touches in a hard-fought victory. The talented backup was able to vulture a touchdown away from Gurley, which serves more as a nuisance to the latter's fantasy owners rather than a true boost in fantasy value for Brown. The 26-year-old will stick in a change-of-pace role against the Ravens next Monday.

Quiet in Week 10 loss
Brown rushed five times for just 10 yards during Sunday's 17-12 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Having last played in Week 6, it wasn't surprising to see Brown limited to just five touches Sunday. His lack of success on the ground wasn't an outlier, either. The Rams were held to just 88 rushing yards, and Todd Gurley accounted for 73 of them. Brown's fantasy value is limited as long as Gurley is healthy, and with rookie Darrell Henderson also in the mix and Los Angeles struggling to score points, it's currently a bleak outlook for the fifth-year back.

Back to full participation
Brown (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After Wednesday's limited showing, Brown appears to be past the ankle injury that forced absences in the Rams' previous two games in Weeks 7 and 8. It remains to be seen if he immediately slots in as the direct backup to Todd Gurley over rookie Darrell Henderson, but such a role equated to just 5.4 touches for 24.8 yards from scrimmage per game and two touchdowns in the first five weeks of the campaign.

Practices in limited capacity
Brown (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was unable to practice at all in advance of the Rams' last two games Weeks 7 and 8, but with the benefit of the team's bye, he's back in the saddle in some capacity. He'll attempt to get all the way back to full activity Thursday or Friday, at which point he likely will receive a designation for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. If Brown isn't available again this weekend, Darrell Henderson will be the No. 2 back behind starter Todd Gurley.

Missing second straight game
Coach Sean McVay ruled Brown (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Bengals in London, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Brown sidelined for a second consecutive contest, the Rams will turn to rookie running back Darrell Henderson as the complementary option behind Todd Gurley. The team has a Week 9 bye following the trip across the pond, so Brown will have plenty of time to rest up before visiting the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Held out of practice Wednesday
Brown (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Omar Ruiz of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown has yet to take the field since injuring his ankle during a spot start Week 6 against the 49ers. Until he does so, rookie Darrell Henderson will serve as the primary backup to starting running back Todd Gurley.

Out in Week 7
Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Vincent Bonsignore of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown's absence hardly comes as a surprise after the ankle injury prevented him from practicing this week and resulted in him carrying a doubtful designation into Sunday. Fortunately for the Rams, they'll be getting top running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) back from a one-game hiatus, leaving rookie Darrell Henderson to fill Brown's usual backup duties.

Officially doubtful
Brown (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: The final injury report confirms what coach Sean McVay said earlier Friday, likely leaving Darrell Henderson as the No. 2 back behind Todd Gurley, who has been cleared to return from his quadriceps injury. Brown failed to impress in a spot start last week, taking 11 carries for 40 yards in a 20-7 loss to the 49ers.

Unlikely to play
Coach Sean McVay considers Brown (ankle) doubtful for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Sits out Thursday's practice
Brown (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Brown was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day after suffering the ankle injury during last Sunday's loss to the 49ers. He received the start in place of Todd Gurley (quad), who's been a limited practice participant so far this week. According to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, coach Sean McVay indicated Brown is currently questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, but he'll likely need to show some progress at Friday's practice to have a legitimate chance of suiting up.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Brown (ankle) was held out of practice Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The severity of Brown's ankle injury is unclear, but it's not a great sign that he didn't participate at all while Todd Gurley managed individual drills as he recovers from a thigh contusion. In Brown's spot start for Gurley this past Sunday against the 49ers, he rushed 11 times for 40 yards while rookie RB Darrell Henderson had seven touches for 48 yards. Aside from Henderson, John Kelly is the only other healthy running back on the Rams' 53-man roster.

Dealing with ankle injury
Coach Sean McVay considers Brown day-to-day as a result of an ankle injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Starting in place of Todd Gurley (quadriceps) this past Sunday against the 49ers, Brown managed to play just 36 of 53 offensive snaps, yielding the remaining 17 plays to rookie running back Darrell Henderson. On the statistical front, Brown notched 11 carries for 40 yards while Henderson turned seven touches into 48 yards from scrimmage. With injuries to tend to this week, both Gurley and Brown may have their practice reps capped, a situation that won't be known until the Rams release their…read more

Stifled in loss to 49ers
Brown carried 11 times for 40 yards and did not receive a target during Sunday's 20-7 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Brown led the team in carries in the absence of Todd Gurley (quadriceps), and despite racking up 35 yards on four consecutive carries during the Rams' first drive, he finished with rather modest numbers. He notably wasn't involved in the passing game at all, which likely limited the offense considering Gurley's regular involvement in that area when healthy. Los Angeles will face a much more favorable matchup on the road against the struggling Falcons next Sunday, and if Brown is called upon to…read more

Should start Week 6
Brown is in line to start Sunday against the 49ers with Todd Gurley (quadriceps) ruled out for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Based on the Rams' previous usage, Brown is on track to receive the lion's share of the carries, with rookie Darrell Henderson dressing as the backup. Given that Henderson is the better pass catcher of the two, game flow or a hot-hand situation could change the distribution of touches during the contest.

Starting nod
Brown has a chance to start Sunday against the 49ers with Todd Gurley (quadriceps) doubtful to suit up, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Brown has given Gurley the occasional breather this season, but the former is in line for an elevated workload because the workhorse is dealing with a quad contusion. Through five games, Brown has managed to put up 4.4 YPC and two TDs on his 26 rushes. That said, he may not make much of an impact as a receiver, as he's gathered in 19 of 25 targets in 45 career appearances. Behind Brown, rookie Darrell Henderson likely will be involved in the game plan as well.

Uninvolved at CenturyLink Field
Brown rushed once for three yards and only played three offensive snaps during Thursday's 30-29 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: This is the fourth consecutive game Brown has failed to move the fantasy needle, and he's accumulated just 61 rushing yards on 15 totes during that stretch. It's impossible to rely on him in most settings, and with more teams on byes over the coming weeks, it's not out of the question to cut the No. 2 back if needed.

Casualty of game script
Brown rushed five times for 14 yards and failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 55-40 loss to Tampa Bay. He played 24 of 98 offensive snaps.
Analysis: The Rams got down 21-0 midway through the second quarter and went to the aerial attack in an attempt to keep pace with the Bucs, so Brown was hardly involved in the offense. The backup rusher has now ran for just 58 yards on 14 attempts the past three contests, and his fantasy value is plummeting. While this could prove to be a buy-low spot, there's also reasons to be pessimistic about Brown's value moving forward. Todd Gurley is still the clear-cut No. 1 running back, and 2019 third-round…read more

Totals seven yards from scrimmage
Brown rushed three times for only seven yards and failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Browns.
Analysis: The backup back was on the field for just 17 of Los Angeles' 66 offensive snaps and noticeably uninvolved. For comparison, Todd Gurley only rushed 14 times for 47 yards, so it was a quiet night for the Los Angeles rushing attack, but Brown has also now had consecutive weak fantasy performances after his two-touchdown showing Week 1. Still, he should be owned in the majority of fantasy settings because of his upside in the event of a Gurley injury.

Analysis: Brown's activity level won't be confirmed until the Rams release their second Week 3 injury report, but it appears he's set to put the health concern behind him after Wednesday's limited showing.

Dealing with ankle injury
Brown (ankle) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Brown picked up the injury, but this is the first time he's popped up on the injury report this season. He's been a solid fantasy asset behind starter Todd Gurley, rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns thus far this season. At this point in the week, Brown should be thought of questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, and if he's forced to miss the game, Darrell Henderson would be in line for carries behind Gurley.

Efficient against Saints
Brown rushed six times for 37 yards and caught his only target for 10 yards during Sunday's 27-9 win over New Orleans.
Analysis: After scoring twice Week 1, this was obviously a bit of a downer from Brown. However, it should also serve as a reminder that he's clearly behind Todd Gurley in the pecking order, and relying on Brown in the majority of fantasy settings will be a weekly gamble. Still, the fifth-year back averaged 6.2 yards per tote and has a role in a high-scoring offense, so Brown remains a roster-worthy asset in most leagues. Also, his value likely will skyrocket if Gurley were to ever miss time, which…read more

Strikes twice in opener
Brown ran for 53 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries during Sunday's 30-27 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Brown was Los Angeles' spark for much of the game, showing some nice power while splitting carries with Todd Gurley, including two touchdown runs from inside the five. Gurley heated up in the second half and is still the more dangerous player, but Brown was impressive after finishing 2018 with 4.9 yards per carry -- the same average as Gurley.

Sees added reps when Gurley rests
Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson have shared first-team running back snaps when Todd Gurley has been rested, ESPN's Lindsey Thiry reports.
Analysis: In addition to going with an every-other-day practice schedule for Gurley, with an eye toward keeping him fresh and setback-free, Brown has not played a preseason snap, a nod to his standing as a key cog in the Rams' backfield behind a starter with knee issues. While there's no question Gurley is the No. 1 back, it's not hard to imagine a scenario out of the gate where Brown sees his share of complementary touches when Gurley needs an early down breather, while the 5-foot-8, 208-pound Henderson…read more

Facing competition for backup job
The Rams drafted Darrell Henderson at No. 70 overall to complement Brown and Todd Gurley (knee) in the backfield, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Rams brass denies that the pick was inspired by Gurley's troublesome knee, but it's clear there's some level of concern given that the team also decided to match Brown's two-year, $3.25 million offer sheet from the Lions. It isn't out of the question for all three running backs to enter Week 1 with roles on offense, though Gurley still has three-down workhorse upside if his knee troubles subside with rest this offseason.

Staying in Los Angeles
The Rams are matching Brown's two-year, $3.25 million offer sheet from the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The decision to use a low tender ultimately worked out in the Rams' favor, as they now have Brown under contract for two years at approximately the same cost as a second-round tender ($3.1 million) for one season. With C.J. Anderson unsigned and the draft still to come, Brown may eventually get some competition for the No. 2 running back spot -- a job that becomes rather interesting with the long-term stability of Todd Gurley's left knee now in question. Meanwhile, the Lions will need to look…read more

Gets offer from Lions
The Lions have signed Brown to an offer sheet, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: If not for a season-ending clavicle injury Week 13, Brown and not C.J. Anderson would have benefited from Todd Gurley's saga with his left knee during the Rams' run to an appearance in Super Bowl LIII. By the start of the new league year, Brown had received an original-round tender from LA, giving his initial organization right of first refusal on any offer. If GM Les Snead allows Brown to move on, the running back likely will vie with Zach Zenner for slotting in the Lions backfield behind…read more

Receives RFA tender
The Rams have tendered Brown at the original-round level, Myles Simmons of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Given that Brown went undrafted back in 2015, the Rams won't get any compensation if the restricted free agent signs an offer sheet with another team and they fail to match the deal. Odds are he won't draw much outside interest, as he owns a career mark of 4.0 yards per carry with just 18 receptions and two scores in 40 career games. Depending on what else happens this offseason, Brown may or may not regain the No. 2 backfield job behind Todd Gurley. The Rams presumably still have interest in…read more

Ran well when healthy
Brown (collarbone) finished the regular season with 212 rushing yards on 43 attempts for a career-best 4.9 yards per carry and five receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown through 12 games before being placed on injured reserve Dec. 11.
Analysis: Brown's season-ending clavicle injury prompted the Rams to bring in veteran C.J. Anderson as backfield insurance behind Todd Gurley (knee), who missed the final two regular-season contests with an injury of his own. While he once again saw limited action behind Gurley when healthy, Brown was efficient when given opportunities. Brown should be fully recovered from his injury for OTAs this spring, but the impending free agent's fantasy outlook will be uncertain until he signs a new contract. If…read more

Moved to IR
The Rams placed Brown (collarbone) on injured reserve Tuesday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean McVay indicated last week that Brown would be sidelined for the rest of the season after requiring surgery to address a clavicle injury, but the Rams waited until after Sunday's loss to the Bears to make the transaction official. Brown's recovery from the procedure is expected to carry an 8-to-10-week timeline, so he should be at full health or close to it when OTAs commence in the spring.

Analysis: That timeline probably ends any hope of Brown avoiding injured reserve, leaving reserve backs Justin Davis and John Kelly to fight for scraps behind workhorse Todd Gurley. The 25-year-old Brown is scheduled to be a restricted free agent this spring after a 2018 campaign in which he took 43 carries for 212 yards and caught five passes for 52 yards and a score. The Rams probably hope to retain him as their No. 2 back.

Set for indefinite absence
Brown (clavicle) is considered out indefinitely, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: The Rams aren't putting a timeline on Brown's recovery from the clavicle injury, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Tuesday that team sources expect the running back to be sidelined for the final four regular-season contests, starting with Sunday's game in Chicago. The Rams will turn to some combination of John Kelly and Justin Davis to handle the small quantity of snaps out of the backfield that don't fall to Todd Gurley. There is some chance Kelly or Davis ends up with a large workload…read more

Could miss rest of regular season
Brown (clavicle) is reportedly slated to be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: We'll await official confirmation of this report, but with Brown now apparently on track to miss time, Justin Davis and rookie John Kelly are now in line to back up Todd Gurley, who has been dominating the Rams' carries. As long as he's healthy and the team has something to play for, the decision on his prime backup won't have fantasy lineup implications. That said, if Gurley gets hurt or 11-1 Los Angeles is able to rest players down the stretch, one of the depth RBs could hold some late-season…read more

Dealing with clavicle issue
Justin Davis and John Kelly are candidates to see added work behind Todd Gurley should Brown miss time due to his clavicle injury, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown was slated to undergo a procedure Monday to have his clavicle injury assessed and it looks like he's probably going to miss some time. Gurley continues to dominate the Rams' backfield touches, but his top backup is worth knowing in the event that he suffers any injuries down the stretch, or alternatively, the 11-1 team elects to rest any starters if its Week 16 or Week 17 games have no playoff implications.

Gets clavicle checked out
Coach Sean McVay revealed Monday that Brown was scheduled to have a procedure performed on his clavicle during the evening, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: The procedure should reveal the severity of Brown's clavicle injury and the length of his potential absence. If he misses some time, Justin Davis and John Kelly would step into backup duties as well as special teams roles.

Could undergo surgery
Brown is dealing with a clavicle injury that could require surgery, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Brown is not only a key backup to Todd Gurley but also a special teams star. Head coach Sean McVay noted it would be a "huge loss" to lose the fourth-year back for an extended period of time, so there will be hope that the injury is not as serious as expected. Justin Davis and John Kelly are in line to fill in Brown's role if he indeed goes under the knife.

Injures shoulder Sunday
Brown has been ruled out of Sunday's contest at Detroit due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Brown spelled Todd Gurley for two carries early in the second quarter, turning the pair of touches into eight yards. However, Brown didn't show up on the sideline after halftime, with a shoulder issue to blame for his eventual absence. Gurley will close out the game as the Rams' sole active running back with Justin Davis and John Kelly both in street clothes.

Rushes for 15 yards in win
Brown played 14 of 80 offensive snaps and rushed four times for 15 yards during Monday's 54-51 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: After not receiving a carry in his previous two contests, Brown encouragingly became more involved in the ground game Monday. He projects to continue seeing limited opportunities with Todd Gurley remaining the focal point of the offense and locked in as a three-down back, and as long as Gurley is healthy, Brown's fantasy outlook is bleak. The backup rusher is best viewed as a bench stash or Gurley handcuff, albeit with late-season potential if the Rams opt to rest their star back after…read more

Plays just eight offensive snaps
Brown was on the field for just eight offensive snaps and caught his only target for 10 yards during Sunday's 36-31 win over Seattle.
Analysis: This was the second consecutive week that Brown didn't receive a rushing attempt. He's averaging 5.1 yards per tote for the campaign and is locked in as Todd Gurley's backup, but until there's a more consistent role in the offense, it's impossible to rely on Brown in fantasy settings. In deep leagues, Brown remains a stash candidate because of the potential uptick in work if Gurley were to ever miss time with an injury.

Receives limited work in loss
Brown caught an 18-yard pass for a touchdown during Sunday's 45-35 loss to New Orleans. He played just six of 60 offensive snaps and didn't have a rushing attempt.
Analysis: The Rams got behind early and never held a lead against the Saints, so game script was against Brown on Sunday. He continues to show well when given an opportunity, but with Jared Goff leading a potent aerial attack and Todd Gurley having a historic season out of the backfield, there just isn't enough work for Brown to make a fantasy impact most weeks.
