Arian Foster Injury: Fantasy Owners Cringing As Texans RB Goes Down Again

If you're one of the millions of people who drafted Arian Foster first overall in your fantasy football draft, I sure do hope that you handcuffed him to Ben Tate. The Texans' superstar running back is down again after re-aggravating his hamstring injury, meaning that Tate is back in as the primary running back.

Tate had a fantastic Week 1 and is playing well again in Week 2. In fact, he's outplaying Foster by a fairly wide margin, averaging 5.8 yards per carry to Foster's 3.3 YPC. Though Foster has made a few cracks about how he's a person, not a stat machine, the fact remains that there are thousands of non-Texans fans who won't be too happy with this injury.

The Texans currently lead the Dolphins 23-13 in the fourth quarter, and Foster's return is questionable.
