Foster's hamstring has been an issue for him since training camp this year and it was also a problem last year. Still, the Texans are just being cautious here and are simply limiting his workload. The team doesn't really have any decent backup, with only Jonathan Grimes and Alfred Blue behind Foster.
Fantasy impact: It’s only a matter of time before Arian goes down, but that hasn’t stopped the Texans from giving him a league-high 59 touches in two games. Fantasy owners can keep him going and he should be viewed as a high-end RB1. However, they may want to consider selling high on him, especially since there isn’t a clear handcuff. For what it’s worth, Blue seems like he’ll be Foster’s backup in the next couple weeks.
