Houston Texans running back Arian Foster looked fairly good in his return from a hamstring injury during yesterday's win over the Miami Dolphins. That is until that same hamstring forced him back out of action. Foster said after the game that his troublesome left hamstring tightened up on him during the second quarter, so he pulled himself out of the game. He didn't play in the second half.
"I pulled myself out because I felt it getting a little tight," Foster said. "But I have to realize that it's only Game 2. It's a long season, so I have to get healthy."
Foster finished with 33 rushing yards on 10 carries and two catches for seven yards. Backup running back Ben Tate ran for 103 yards on 23 carries. He caught four passes for 32 more yards.

Fantasy Analysis:

First of all, go get Ben Tate if he is still available in your league for some reason. The kid is legit.
Secondly, I don't see how Foster can possibly play this week against the New Orleans Saints. He had not played in about a month and obviously his hamstring still wasn't ready to go. I think the Texans have to sit him down in an effort to stop this from happening. Looking at the schedule, I don't think Houston would prefer that Foster return in week four against the Steelers' run defense, so I think you're looking at a multi-week absence. If not, the Texans are just being reckless with the 2010 rushing champ. Plus, Tate has shown he can carry the load and be very productive. What's the rush?
