Colts | RB Hart the odd man out? Sun May 15, 07:41 PM
Arthur Arkush, from ProFootballWeekly.com, reports with the addition of RB Delone Carter in the 2011 NFL Draft it could push veteran RB Mike Hart off the final roster.
| Footballguys view: Hart was counted on to grind out tough yardage for the team last year but has struggled to stay healthy during his entire career. Carter is stronger and more powerful than Hart, plus he's a better receiver out of the backfield. |

Colts | RB James on the way out? Sun May 15, 07:41 PM
Arthur Arkush, from ProFootballWeekly.com, reports with the addition of RB Delone Carter in the 2011 NFL Draft it could push second-year RB Javarris James off the final roster.
| Footballguys view: James led the team in rushing touchdowns last season, but could be one of the odd men out in the backfield this year. |

Colts | Delone Carter addition might shake up backfield Sun May 1, 12:53 AM
The Indianapolis Colts added RB Delone Carter in the fourth round, potentially shaking up the team's backfield. It's possible that means there will only be one roster spot between RBs Mike Hart and Javarris James, especially since leading rusher RB Joseph Addai accepted a one-year deal as a restricted free agent and RB Donald Brown has two years remaining on his contract.
| Footballguys view: Carter is a favorite of our Footballguys staff. He runs like a bowling ball with legs and loves to knock over defenders. His low center of gravity enhances his change of direction skills and he is quicker than some think. Carter was a fine addition by the Colts and is talented enough to take over as their lead back. |

| Footballguys view: Brown should be ahead of Hart in the pecking order, but they're both worth owning as potential goal line backs in a potent offense. |
