Now that the big site announcement is out of the way, let's get back to football. A long, lost name popped up on our players news page last night: Chris Brown. No, not the psycopathic former OC cast member. And not the Texans kicker. The one that used to back up Eddie George, then set Fantasy Nation's heart's afire with 1,067 yards and six touchdowns in eleven games in 2004.

I almost forgot, but Brown is still a member of the Texans. He spent last year on injured reserve because of a bad back. It seems like he's 31, but he's only 28. Gary Kubiak says he's healthy again and, "can provide a big back for us."

Kubiak specifically mentioned using Brown in short-yardage situations, but he's never been a great goal-line option because of his upright style. Plus he never stays healthy. Brown is a longshot to matter, and I suspect the Texans will draft a running back, but he's on the radar. He was drafted in the second-to-last round in my 45-man IDP dynasty league last month, which sounds about right.

It's also worth remembering that Kubiak is already talking about a possible vulture for Steve Slaton. I know that won't make reader Scott C. happy.

Just in case you missed it, I posted a column summarizing the fantasy impact of all free agency movement thus far. If you squint hard, it's like 20 blog posts put together.
