Arian Foster held out of practice Thursday, but should be fine for fantasy owners Sunday

Arian Foster didn’t practice on Thursday but is still expected to play in Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.

Thomas Campbell-USA TODAY Sports

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster was held out of practice on Thursday. Foster is dealing with a sore hamstring, but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It is only a day for rest for Houston's workhorse back, who always seems to play through minor injuries.

Foster had a slow start to the season but his production is starting to pick up. He recorded 198 total yards on 24 touches in last week's loss to the St. Louis Rams. Foster has rushed for 531 yards and a touchdown through six games.

Fantasy impact: Barring a setback on Friday, there's no reason to be concerned about Foster's status for Sunday. He will be looking at another heavy workload with the Texans throwing Case Keenum into the fire against Kansas City's defense. Fantasy owners can continue rolling him out as a RB1 this week before the Texans go on their Week 8 bye.
