Texans' Arian Foster 'looks ready to play'
Those are the words of Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak on Friday. Foster, who didn't play in week one and has been out of action for almost a month after straining a hamstring during a preseason game, is expected to play this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. However, there is a catch. Kubiak also said that Foster wouldn't get his normal amount of touches and that Ben Tate
will definitely play in this game. Running back Derrick Ward
has already been ruled out because of an ankle injury.
Fantasy Analysis:
This is a bit tricky. Foster is absolutely start-worthy in fantasy leagues, but understand that he's going to be locked in a full-blown timeshare for this week. Tate looked too good last week and in the preseason for the Texans to completely forget about him. As such, I think Foster is a RB2 this week while Tate is an extremely solid flex.
