Houston Texans running back Arian Foster is considered day-to-day with his hamstring injury. On top of that, he's likely to be a game-time decision, since head coach Bill O'Brien said Foster will work out prior to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to Dave Zangaro of CSN Houston.
Arian Foster will be a game-time decision; fantasy status iffy
Arian Foster has a hamstring injury and will be a game-time decision for Week 4. We break down the fantasy implications.

Foster's hamstring injury kept him out of the team's Week 3 game against the New York Giants -- a 30-17 loss. And while Foster was missed, the Texans ran the ball quite effectively with Alfred Blue. He had 13 carries for 78 yards. On the season, he has 25 carries for 118 yards, and Foster has 55 carries for 241 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: It’s impossible to tell where Foster is at this point. Hamstring injuries are difficult to gauge, and coming back a day too soon can cause significant re-injury. He won’t know if he can run at full speed and do everything he needs to do until a couple hours before kickoff. He’s not much of a strong fantasy play at this point. The Bills are also solid against the run, making this decision a little less difficult.
