This report, from Adam Schefter, is obviously good news. Joseph Addai is a very strong runner, an elusive guy who can also power the ball forward in a scrum. He has quick-shift ability that rivals almost anyone in the NFL.
And he is incredibly soft. They guy is hurt all of the time, and misses time regularly. How annoying. (Yes, I own him in fantasy football.)
Dominic Rhodes is a very average back. Fortunately for him, he’s facing a very below-average Packers run defense. Should be an average match-up. Or below-average.

More good news: according to nfl.com, the Colts are one of 5 teams giving up more ypc on run defense than the Packers.

Check that. The Colts give up more yards per game, Packers are 2nd only to the Broncos in ypc given up. Colts have been seeing more carries (the consequence of playing from behind more, I suppose).
