Arian Foster Injury Update: Elite fantasy back is ready to go

Arian Foster is ready for big matchup to try and lock up the top seed.

Arian Foster (irregular heartbeat) is practicing in full this week and is listed as probable on Sunday. He'll start in the big divisional matchup against the Colts.

Arian Foster is having a nice season with 1,328 rushing yards and 14 scores. He leads the league in TDs, but his season is overshadowed by Adrian Peterson's ridiculous 2012 campaign.

Fantasy Impact: Foster owners got lucky a bit since the Texans have a ton to play for on Sunday. They basically have to win to retain their top seed and they could even lose their bye with the Patriots and Broncos winning combined with a loss.

The Colts have a weaker run D and Arian torched them for 165 yards back in Week 15. He’s ranked second in our Running Back Rankings for both PPR and Standard Leagues.
