Houston Texans running back Arian Foster missed Wednesday's practice to meet with back doctors. The doctors will try to diagnose his injury and may give him a prognosis.
Arian Foster visiting with back doctors, Ben Tate serves as valuable fantasy piece
Arian Foster could sit out of the Texans’ game in Arizona on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Foster suffered the injury on Sunday. This comes on the heels of a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice last week. Foster has also been dealing with a calf injury this season.
Fantasy impact: Foster owners had better be sure they’re going to have a backup plan for the late-afternoon start. While Tate didn’t play well on Sunday, the workload of 22 carries bodes very well for his outlooks this week. He should feel better with another week off and there were no reports of anything going wrong after the game. If Foster is ruled out, Tate serves as a low-end RB1 in all fantasy leagues. Until then, he’s more of an RB2.
