The Facts:
A bulked-up Brown said Thursday that his new physique has to do with Ricky Williams being suspended for the season. "Yeah, I've been working hard in the off-season," said Brown, who added he's close to what he weighed at the end of last season -- 235 pounds -- though he appears more muscular. "I have that in the back of my mind that I will have to take on the duty of carrying the load a little bit more."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Brown rushed for 907 yards on 207 carries during his rookie season while splitting carries with Williams. Although the team has expressed interest in New Orleans halfback Michael Bennett, it doesn't appear anybody currently on their roster -- Sammy Morris, Gerald Riggs, Kay-Jay Harris and Travis Minor -- is capable of filling Williams' role. ... Meaning, Brown might need the extra strength.
