Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has been a stud while he's on the field. The problem is that his hamstring injury is not going away and he'll be on the injury report for seemingly the entire season.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Arian Foster
The Houston running back looked amazing in Week 5. Will that continue in Week 6 for fantasy owners?

Foster is dominating on the stat sheet with season totals of 404 rushing yards, 99 receiving yards and three touchdowns in four games. He has 13 receptions and an impressive 4.7 yards-per-carry average. Foster is coming off a massive 172-yard, two-score game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.
He'll take on a mediocre Indianapolis Colts defense on Thursday night. The Colts are the 18th-toughest matchup for fantasy running backs despite one of the easier schedules, having faced the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy impact: It’s pretty easy with Foster: If he’s active, you’re starting him. The short week is a little worrisome, especially since the Texans don’t have a high-powered offense, but there are just too many positives to avoid here. He’s a top-five play.
