It looks as if Arian Foster is taking the field against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Foster was nursing his nagging hamstring heading into Week 5, but it appears as though he's set to handle the Texans backfield.

Despite a lengthy injury report this week, the #Texans came out relatively unscathed. Both Andre Johnson & Arian Foster are slated to play
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 5, 2014 Foster is coming off a rough Week 4. He had eight carries for just six yards. He added seven receptions for 55 yards to the day.
Fantasy impact: Even if the Texans struggle on the ground, it's important to remember that Foster can be relied on in the passing game. He was targeted ten times against the Buffalo Bills, and the Cowboys will give up production to Foster in some way. Foster has been mediocre in yardage through three games, but he's found the end zone twice. He's an RB2 that will hopefully put it all together against a Dallas defense that has been fairly porous for most of the season.
