Speaking Thursday, Houston Texans running back Arian Foster said he feels "wonderful," although his injured groin is not 100 percent yet, according to Texans TV's Drew Dougherty.

More positive news emerges from Houston regarding its feature back’s status. We break down the fantasy implications.

Foster has been sidelined since August with a torn groin muscle, an injury that kept Danny Amendola out of action for over two months in 2013. Apparently rehab has gone well for Foster, who has practiced with the Texans over the last two weeks. Foster added that he would not be rushing back into action, and head coach Bill O'Brien stated earlier in the week that Foster likely will not play in Week 3's game vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy impact: More positive news continues to swarm Foster, which has to be welcome to his fantasy owners. It’s possible that Foster’s owners got a late-round steal, getting a feature back into their lineups as early as Week 4, and at a discounted draft position.
For Week 3, Jonathan Grimes, Chris Polk and Alfred Blue will likely man backfield duties, but it appears that the days of that three-headed monster could soon be coming to an end. Foster will instantly be in the RB2 conversation upon his return.
