Foster missed the last quarter of practice after developing soreness in his knee. Coach Gary Kubiak believes Foster will be "OK" and should be ready for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins. While it sounds like Foster is safe to plug in as a RB1, we recommend checking back Friday afternoon to ensure the soreness isn't of the lingering variety.

It's fair to wonder if the Texans might give Foster more rest than usual by mixing in more of Ben Tate, or if they grab a big early lead against a Dolphins team that will struggle to score points. We'd start Foster in fantasy leagues, but Tate is on the flex/RB2 radar as well.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak sounded open Monday to the idea of giving Arian Foster 400 carries this season.


"He can handle it," said Kubiak. "I know that. You never know how the season's going to go." The history of running backs who receive 400 single-season carries is poor to say the least; it's often a career-threatening "accomplishment." Foster's re-draft owners should love this news, but his dynasty owners probably shouldn't. Through four weeks Foster is on pace for 412 carries and 448 all-purpose touches. We'd like to see his receptions rise at the expense of his rushing attempts.
