The Houston Texans have officially ruled out running back Arian Foster for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. Foster had been called a game-time decision with his groin injury, but the team made his absence official on Saturday. Alfred Blue will get the start in his place.
Arian Foster injury update: Texans RB out, Alfred Blue fantasy value climbs
Arian Foster has been ruled out with a groin injury. We break down the fantasy implications.


Foster has missed one game this season, though it’s unrelated to this groin injury. Despite missing that game, he’s second in the league in rushing yardage, with 822 yards off of 161 carries. He also has seven touchdowns on the ground, another three through the air and 220 receiving yards. Any missed time is a huge deal for the Texans.
Fantasy Impact: Any missed time is also a huge deal for fantasy owners. Foster bounced back extremely well this season, and while Alfred Blue is worth a start with Foster sideline, it obviously won't be the same. If you have Foster, you'll need to bench him. If you have Blue, he is the starter, but make sure he is your best option.
