Houston Texans running back Arian Foster is still not recovered from his groin injury and missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Head coach Bill O'Brien said that Foster will be a game-time decision for Houston's Week 11 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Arian Foster to be game-time decision for fantasy owners on Sunday
Arian Foster is slow to recover from his groin injury and he will be a game-time decision in Week 11. We break down the fantasy implications.

Foster left the Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles with the groin injury. Despite having the Week 10 bye to rest up, Foster has yet to practice again. Rookie Alfred Blue will get the start if Foster is unable to suit up. Foster missed one other game this season with a hamstring issue.
Fantasy impact: The good news for fantasy owners is that the Texans and Browns kick off at 1 p.m. ET, so we'll know early in the day if he will play. This might be your last chance to acquire Blue if he's still available. Whoever gets the start has juicy upside -- the Texans will want to ease in Ryan Mallett, who is making his first start, and the Browns are giving up 134.2 rushing yards per game. We will continue to monitor Foster's status through the weekend.
