Arian Foster in good company (1 Viewer)

[shnikies]

I saw on SportsCenter that Arian Foster is the 5th player since the merger to total 375 yards from scrimmage and 3 touchdowns. These were the other 4 and how they ended up fantasy-wise.

Garrison Hearst finished as the 5th best RB in 1998

Paul Hofer got injured during the 6th game of the season in 1980

Billy Sims finished as the best back in 1980

O.J. Simpson finished as the best back in 1975

You gotta love a guy (Foster) who loves philosophy and writes poetry!

Good thread.

Imagine if Hofer were around to use in PPR leagues....back then it was TD only.

I see you've finally decided to hop on board the Foster train

it's too bad that J. Best makes this kid look like a second class RB. Can you imagine Best playing in HOU.

I was never anti-Foster, I just thought it was a little crazy that people were taking him with a top 20 pick but I was wrong. I don't own him any of my leagues but I wish I did.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Does this mean Foster is going to kill his future ex wife?

 

[Chase Stuart]

Since 1970.

Jim Brown did it in the pre-merger days, and others may have as well.

Thanks, fixed.

I don't see how this means anything for Arian this year.

I don't see how this means anything for Arian this year.

It means that getting 375 yards and 3 touchdowns in the first two game is a rare feat.

Sure, but it doesn't predict anything going forward. It's a nice Chase Stuart trivia nugget though.

It's more of an indicator. To everyone that questions if Foster is "the real deal" or not, not many backs total 375 yards in 2 games, or rush for 231 yards in one without ending up to be legitimate. this isn't a fluke thing, is what these stats are trying to tell you

 

[Dr. Awesome]

I agree he's not a fluke...but does this mean he's going to finish as the #1 rb now?

 

[Jayrod]

Likely top 5 unless he gets injured.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

With 40+ points in week one that's kind of obvious. Even if he were mediocre from this point forward he'd likely be able to stumble his way into the top 5. Heck, the biggest thing ANY rb needs to make the top 10 is to stay healthy and get lots of touches.

I wonder if Foster's wife is getting concerned yet..

It is a bit early for that. Right now they both look great. It is a two horse race for ROY. Foster's stats actually look better, Best just has found the end zone more and has looked very impressive weaving down field making defenders appear to be standing still.

Foster isn't a rookie
