Notes
Philadelphia Eagles RB Bryce Brown has been working on ball security this offseason by carrying around waited footballs.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Bryce Brown put the ball on the ground four times, or once every 28.8 carries, during the 2012 season. Brown is expected to see more playing time in new head coach Chip Kelly's offense, as long as he can take care of the football. 'I look at running backs that run with that style, look at the Adrian Petersons, early in their career, how many times he fumbled,' running backs coach Duce Staley said. 'Not comparing the two, but I look at guys that once they're in a hole, or once they're around a crowd, you've got to have that awareness. Guys are around, guys poking at the ball, it's their job. Bryce understands that. And I was able to show him some things on film that is going to help him. And (we'll) definitely do drills. We're going to do that all day, every day.'
Fantasy Impact: Brown has a chance to play a big role with the team but will need to get his fumbling issues under control.

'That's why I haven't sat him down because of the fumbles.'

Fantasy Impact: This bodes well for the rest of his season to get plenty of playing time. He really needs to start securing the ball better, though.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Bryce Brown carried 12 times for just six yards in the Week 14 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also had two receptions for six yards.
Fantasy Impact: A terrible showing but Brown really didn't have any room to run in fairness to him. He'll be fine the rest of the way in better matchups.
