Arian Foster Hamstring Injury (1 Viewer)

[Verminator]

Oy vey!

First of all, this is typical preseason over-analysis. It seems to me that RBs go to the sideline a lot in the regular season and have typical bumps and bruises... this is magnified because it is a preseason game and the first sign of a muscle pull takes the player out of the game as a precaution.

Second of all, this helps support the theory of taking your typical surefire 16 game per season QBs and WRs early in the draft or handcuffing your 1st round RBs. If I draft Foster in the first and have Tate on my roster as well, I am not panicking because RBs are "plug-and-play" positions as long as the back is in a good offensive system and is supported by solid blocking by the offensive line.

Finally, the whole Vonte Leach thing is overblown. The Ravens run blocking is suspect and the Texans run blocking was great last year. I don't think the presence of Leach upgrades Rice or downgrades Foster significantly.

Such a shame. When healthy, there is no more exciting guy to watch right now.

Lots of overreaction in here.

Apparently you didn't get the memo. Tweaked hammy = out for the season.

I don't see too much overreaction. A lot of people are drafting tonight or tomorrow and won't know what's going on. Unless you're sitting next to him right now you don't know much either. I remember watching Deuce McAllister jog off the field to find out the next day that he tore every ligament in his knee. Obviously, the odds are it's nothing but I don't blame anyone who owns him or was planning on drafting him soon to be concerned.

Anyone who seriously injures a hamstring can't walk and is immediately placed on crutches. See Randy Moss 2004. The fact that he is walking off eludes to a tweak/re-aggravation. That said, it takes ~ 4 weeks for hamstring pulls to heal. He likely came back a little too soon. Could nag him all season, or it could be gone by the start of the season. FWIW RBs play with minor strains all the time. With Tate and Ward on the roster, they will likely ease him back in this time. You may have to wait a few weeks to get 20+ touches out of him, but he will likely be fine when it begins to really matter 3-4 weeks into the season.

Your league doesn't keep score the first 3-4 weeks?

The point is, everyone is still figuring things out the first 3 weeks. If you have put your team together well, you can come out 1-1 and be ready to roll when he comes back. Would you rather have Foster? Or Johnson with no camp (if he is even signed)? IMO he is no worse than the 4th overall pick.

Do you follow the whole thread or only specific posts? The discussion includes whether or not Foster should slip in drafts. Some even eluding to him dropping out of the first round based on this tweak. My point is, it's understandable to drop him behind AD and Rice based on tonight's events. Some may even rather take Charles, despite his time share. But a drop any further than that is not warranted based on what we saw. Johnson would be the other guy with potential to enter the discussion as leaping Foster, pushing him back to 5. If I am sitting at 4 with Foster and Johnson on the board, I go Foster no question. In fact, I would still take him #1 (and did tonight). This injury, IMO, is no big deal and at worst will cost him a couple games to start the year.

Arian Foster - RB - Texans

Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Saturday night that he is "hopeful" Arian Foster (hamstring) will be ready for Week 1.

Kubiak did confirm Foster's latest hamstring injury is to the same leg (left) that cost him 11 days of camp earlier this month. "We don’t think it’s anything worse than what we were dealing with before," Kubiak insisted. "I’m just hoping... he’ll be ready for opening day." Kubiak did not list Foster as one of the Texans' biggest injury concerns after the game. It's a situation to monitor for a top-two fantasy pick, but ultimately not a big worry.

[FGITLOTR]

The fact of the matter remains that he hurt the hamstring a few weeks ago and reinjured it last night--anyone who has dealt with hamstring issues, especially a skill position player in football, knows that they usually linger and can take a long time to totally heal. In limited action last night he looked fantastic, but given his injury history dating back to college, I'd be leery of drafting him with a top 3 pick this season. As for his handcuff, the current regime drafted Tate in the 2nd round, so I have to imagine he will get the bulk of the carries should Foster miss time. I definitely think Ward will be involved, but Tate is the guy that people should be scrambling to pick up on the waiver wire.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

That hamstring is a big issue this close to the season. He obviously can't handle a full workload at this time, it's foolish to take him top 3 right now. If you already drafted him then you cross your fingers and hope for the best. If you haven't, then slide him down the list.

 

[leave a whisper]

from CBSsportsline.com :

Arian Foster, RB HOU

News: Arian Foster left the Texans' preseason game at San Francisco on Saturday with a re-aggravation of a left hamstring. Head coach Gary Kubiak confirmed to Sports Radio 610 in Houston that Foster hurt himself "exactly like he did in camp" following a first half run where he limped off the field under his own power, holding the back of his left leg. "We're keeping our fingers crossed," Kubiak told the Houston station. "That's why you need a lot of [running backs]." He later said he expected Foster to be ready for Week 1. Foster ran well before the injury, totaling 38 yards on eight carries with a 12-yard catch before limping off holding the back of his left leg.

Analysis: Soon after camp opened in Houston, Foster strained his left hamstring and was out of action for roughly two weeks. If it's the same injury as Kubiak said, then one would assume that Foster would be out until Week 1 vs. the Colts. That's fine for Fantasy purposes, but we can't shake the feeling that Foster will be the picture of health if he's pulled his hamstring twice in the span of three weeks. Foster's still worth taking with a very early first-round pick, including a No. 1 overall choice if you'd like, but now more than ever owners should spend a middle- to late-round pick on Ben Tate (and/or Derrick Ward; Tate's more popular in Fantasy) just in case Foster hurts himself again. More to come on this very significant injury -- stay tuned.

Do you follow the whole thread or only specific posts?

Maybe your question wasn't directed specifically at me then, you replied to my post? I wasn't aware I had to read every post and consider everyone's opinion when asked a question. I just thought the comment about the first 3-4 weeks not meaning anything a little silly.

My point is, it's understandable to drop him behind AD and Rice based on tonight's events.

Yes, I agree with this. For everyone making the toolish one liners in here I'd like some thoughtful discussion why you'd still take Foster #1 if you had your draft today before any more information comes out about the injury.

 

[Uwe Blab]

I think if I was drafting today I would knock him down a few slots to 1.5 or so. There is added risk that you have to take into account with him...at least for the beginning of the season. We had to lock in our 1 keeper by this morning and I had to choose whether to keep Arian Foster or Chris Johnson. Yea me.

I drafted Foster about 1 hour before the injury yesterday, I would have taken Peterson no question.

 

[fatness]

"Tweaked".

A non-medical term used to describe such a wide range of injuries in the NFL ranging from "momentary pain" to "torn ligament" that it effectively conveys no meaning at all.

 

[damageinc]

I ran a bunch of Mocks yesterday before the innury. I had 50 Percent taking AD as the #1 40 % taking Foster and 10% taking other ( mostly Ray Rice but a few Charles) SO I think it went AD-Foster Rice - Charles and Now I say it should go AD-Rice-Charles-Foster. I could even see Foster dropping even more. Just had Sports center on and they said he "hoped" to be ready for week 1 and needed to rest his hammy. With 2 weeks for the season I could see him missing a game or 2. and we all know Kubiack. Cant we remember Dominick Davis and Steve Slaton. they were top running backs and soon as someone else came along and was better he pushed them aside Ofcourse there was injury involved. . Week one Tate comes in and is a monster ( Dont they play Indy the worst rush D ?) it would be a committie as best. I am not worried about Ward. I worry about tate who is a Talent. Why I move Foster to 4. Just my opinion.

 

[rizzler]

Arian Foster (hamstring) tweeted on Sunday morning that he expects to be ready for Week 1.

"For those sincerely concerned, I'm doing ok and plan to be back by opening day," he said. Texans HC Gary Kubiak confirmed last night that Foster is dealing with an aggravation of his earlier hamstring injury, and said his star running back never "really got loose and got going." He believes the chilly San Francisco weather may have been a factor. Any injury for a top-two overall player is a concern, but Foster should ultimately be no worse for the wear. Aug 28 - 10:39 AM

Dont have the quote as I saw it on the tube, but he seems to be certain he'll be there week 1.

I'm drafting in a few days in a 10-team redraft ... all TD's 6 pts (turnovers -3) ... from position 1.08. Knowing my league, there's a chance that both C.Johnson and Foster might drop to me at 1.08.

If that were to happen ... would you take either one of those guys at 1.08, and if so, who?

From past experience, it's obvious Foster came back too soon ... the healing time could easily be 4 weeks for the hamstring (call it Week 3 of the regular season, to be safe). In addition, we know from past experience that RB's who holdout and miss training camp are much more likely to get injured during the season. It has happened again, and again ... which increases CJ's risk.

Is that good "sick" or bad "sick"?

 

[mquinnjr]

That's definitely bad sick. But you know what, as much as these guys as a whole are athletes in peak physical condition, they are really entertainers, playing for our entertainment. FF is a part of that entertainment. If Arian doesn't like that, he can pound sand, it goes with the territory of what he does and gets paid to do to entertain NFL fans.

 

[rizzler]

Arian comes off as a pretty "deep" guy. Really puts some thought into life, aside from pounding a football into the endzone.

That being said, I dont doubt seeing him go the way of Ricky Williams, and just leaving football abruptly one day.

Anyways, Foster has a bit of a feud going on with Colin Cowherd (total ######## btw) on twitter.

Way to keep up the journalistic integrity there Colin!

I've drafted 2 10 team start 2QB leagues to far. Last week Foster went #1 and CJ went #4. Last night(just prior to the "tweak") Foster went #2 behind AP and CJ fell all the way to #18. I would have no problem taking Foster if he fell to #8, but I'm very concerned about CJ...that situation is just ugly.

 

[Shutout]

Love the over-reaction....go ahead and draft ADP and Rice over Foster. And some of you actually call yourselves sharks? The shark move would be to still draft Foster and then just get Tate in the 10th round. In that O, you are guaranteed a lot of points with the RB1.

ADP or Rice could easily outscore Foster this year. In fact, it's likely that both will.

And what is it EXACTLY that makes it likely that both will? Is it the FACT that Foster outscored them both last year by about 100 or the fact that no significant RB in the history of the NFL has ever remained 100% healthy every time they step on the field?Agree with Sweetness: gotta love the chicken littles being fed to the shark pool tonight. Some of you guys are seeing what you want to see; a lot of people that have been looking HARD to discredit Foster for about a year now instead of accepting his production. The rest of us choose to see the good YPC average tonight, the great game last week, the great SEASON last year, etc.Go ahead and take your ADP, your Charles, your Rice..but I don't want to see one whining crying thread in 2011 when Foster has remained Foster but you guys are posting all over the place about how Rice had a crappy first game against the Steelers or how come the Chiefs aren't as solid as they were last year or how Mcnabb and the inept Vikes are killing ADP. At that point, they didn't hurt your fantasy team; you did.When I woke up this morning I read that Finley tweaked his ankle last night...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE carry over your lines of thinking and pass on him on draft day and leave him to me.

my point is that it's just as likely adp or rice outscore foster as it is foster outscores them. Regardless, of the injury. Name the last RB to repeat as #1 rb in back to back years? That's what i thought.

So...you're basing your "just as likely" theory on the idea that guys don't repeat often? Ok..So in that line of thought, why not pick McCoy or Hillis or McFadden as "just as likely"? Or even Charles? The answer: Because even you know in the back of your mind that you are looking at players with different levels of talent, Production, and opportunity. And in that case, its pretty rediculous to say that a guy that outscored the next closest RB last year by 100 points (or about 20%) is simply a coin flip chance of getting outperformed this year, based on nothing more than your biases, wishes, or simple ideals.If you follow the Texans, wathed the games, listen to the coaches, you KNOW that FOster is a young bright star on a great offensive team that has a very good chance of being the top RB again this year.

Both Rice and ADP are better running backs than Foster. Couple that with the fact that it's hard to repeat as #1RB in back to back years and yeah, I personally dont see Foster doing it again. Dude, I was pimping foster when he was an undrafted FA and most people in the SP were calling him a scrub and could only remeber him for his big fumble in college. I know who the guy is and I'm teeling you even with all of that, he likely will be irrelevant in less than three years. Sure he's a good but most halfbacks in the nfl could go for 1200 and 12 with that run blocking scheme and personel.

Texans head athletic trainer Geoff Kaplan offered a "very positive" outlook on Arian Foster's (hamstring) recovery, according to coach Gary Kubiak.

We haven't heard of any MRI scheduled for Foster yet, but the Texans will likely give him one in order to determine the grade of the strain. Once that happens, we should have a better idea on a timetable. For now, all we have to go on is the team's word that Foster is tentatively expected to be ready for opening day. It is a good sign, though, that Kubiak considers his top back "day to day."
