Houston Texans running back Arian Foster (ribs, hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Deepi Sidhu. Foster is still expected to start on Sunday against the New York Giants.
Arian Foster limited in practice Wednesday, still good to start for fantasy owners in Week 3
The Texans’ star running back has battled injuries for the last few weeks and was limited in practice again on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: Foster injured his ribs during the preseason, but the hamstring injury is a new one. So far nothing has stopped him from carrying the ball a ton in the team’s first two games. He has carried the ball 55 times for 242 yards rushing and a touchdown so far this season.
Many so-called experts peg Foster as being beyond his prime years and ready for a slide in terms of his present and future fantasy value, but the Texans don’t seem too worried about that given how many touches he’s been getting so far this season.
If there's a chance he can't go in Week 3, Alfred Blue would be in line to start. That said, Foster's fantasy owners need not worry yet as Foster is still expected to start.
