Questions surrounded Houston Texans running back Arian Foster entering Sunday's game, after being very limited in Week 4 and with continued concerns leading to the game. He responded in a huge way Sunday, with his biggest yardage day since early last season in the team's 20-17 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Arian Foster works off injury with big fantasy day
The Texans running back bounced back from injury with huge yardage Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Foster ran the ball 23 times Sunday for 157 yards and two touchdowns, adding 15 receiving yards on two catches. His touchdowns came on a 15-yard run in the third quarter and a one-yarder in the last minute of regulation.
Fantasy impact: The advice all week was to play Foster if he was active, as the Dallas defense is friendly to running backs, but any fantasy owners who went against that advice could be forgiven after Foster’s much quieter Week 4 outing.
Sunday’s monster outing (28 fantasy points) shows that Foster is still an elite running back, and shows that when he’s even on the field, he can do huge things. He’s an easy RB1.
