I know there is a thread on Foster already, but I think Tate deserves his own thread.Lead back "as of right now" that is.THis is up on rotoworld:
This matchup versus my hometown team, the Saints, would seemingly be a great fantasy start. However, G Williams plugged Aubrayo Franklin into the nose tackle spot much of this previous game against the Bears. When you take away Matt Forte's 42 yard run and Jay Cutler's 12 yard run, they averaged less than a yard per carry or some ridiculously low number. I believe Franklin was rated as one of the top run stuffers last year per pro football focus.What are your thoughts on Tate's fantasy outlook for week 3 and beyond?Coach Gary Kubiak announced Monday that Ben Tate will be the Texans' lead back until Arian Foster's hamstring fully heals."He's playing really well," Kubiak said of Tate. "Ben's probably going to carry most of the load right now." Kubiak also praised Tate's pass protection for the second straight week. Foster didn't look fully healthy during the first half of Houston's Week 2 win over Miami, and had to shut it down at intermission. The Texans will lean on Tate against the Saints in Week 3. You'll be hard pressed to name 12 better running back plays in fantasy football.
