With Houston Texans running back Arian Foster now officially ruled out, his backup Alfred Blue has become a priority add in fantasy leagues across the board.

Blue is an immediate candidate for a 15-20 touch workload for Week 11, but that can’t be expected going forward, as it is not yet known how long Foster will be out of action.
Fantasy Spin: Blue draws a favorable matchup for his second career start, versus a Cleveland Browns team allowing a second-worst 4.7 yards per carry to opponents. With quarterback Ryan Mallett also getting his first career start, it's not inconceivable that the Texans will adhere to a ground-heavy attack to counter a formidable Browns secondary.
Blue hasn’t exactly wowed his onlookers in the limited action he has had this season, but the volume he would be in line to receive makes him an enticing fantasy option. For owners in a bind at the running back position, Blue makes for a solid RB2 option.
