Houston Texans running back Arian Foster will not play in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was listed on the team's inactive report on Sunday morning. Foster has yet to play this season due to a groin injury and doesn't have a concrete timetable to return.
Arian Foster injury update: Texans RB inactive Week 3, fantasy owners continue to wait
Arian Foster is getting closer, but he won’t play this week. We break down the fantasy implications.
There was some hope that Foster would be able to make it back before October, but he’s likely out for Sunday with few positive reports this week. His fantasy owners just have to continue stashing him and try to avoid selling low unless it’s necessary.
With Foster out, nobody has really stepped up for the Texans, though running back Chris Polk does seem to have the edge over Alfred Blue. While this is a favorable matchup against a subpar Tampa defense, this timeshare in a weaker offense isn't the ideal place to target fantasy value.
Fantasy impact: The Texans are going to have receiver DeAndre Hopkins for this game, which means they won't be so run-heavy. Fantasy owners can't use Polk or Blue.
