Yes, I do recall that Clayton in particular has been a downer on Foster. I liked Clayton a lot better when Salisbury was degrading him the whole time.On a side note, has anyone else noticed that Foster has been tweeting nonsense in German all night, and last night he was tweeting in Spanish? Have we ruled out a head injury? This guy is weird.

Clayton. That guy couldn't cut it as a waterboy and he's gonna give the what's up in football land? No thanks.As for Foster, he's hamming it up with his fans, and they seem to be lapping it up. I think he is posting the nonsense to purposely avoid all the "are you starting sunday" tweets he's getting.

Jealousy

John Clayton knows more about football and has better information sources than you do.

As for Foster, why would he play? It's INDY, they are terrible right now. The smart play is to save him and rest up that hammy.

Relax man, I didn't know the two of you were going steady.You sporting his chess team Letterman as well?

 

[Banger]

The fact he's still running on the sidelines and not practicing is a concern IMO. It'll be interesting to see if he practices today.

 

[Oscar]

I'm starting Ben Tate this weekend with confidence.

 

[zoonation]

If Foster doesn't practice today he is out for this weekend IMO.

Why start him? The Texans will smash the Colts this weekend and Ward/Tate are more than capable of shouldering the rushing load. I'd save Foster...why risk him if you don't have to.

I wish I had Ward. He will be a money flex play this weekend. The Texans will need to have him out there a lot for pass protection reasons. I would give serious thought to starting Tate too, if I had him. I see 200 rushing yards for the Texans this weekend.

I think this game is a blowout.

 

[Ever Present Lurker]

The whole thing with this injury, is it has been one big misdirection since he "re-tweaked" it. It's nothing, it's torn, it's a hoax, it's getting better, it's healing slowly, he's planning to play, he's doubtful.

It's a big clusterfudge. And no matter what we all think, chances are, we'll be waiting til an hour before game time to really know the truth. I think the best thing we can do is just stay-tuned, and be ready to roll with another option if necessary.

 

[Raider Nation]

I wish I had Ward. He will be a money flex play this weekend. The Texans will need to have him out there a lot for pass protection reasons.

Please confirm something for me, as I've never owned Ward before now.Other than him being better in pass pro than Tate, which we know to be true, he is also the better receiver... yes? Just trying to establish that at the VERY least he will be in there on all 3rd downs, just in case Kubiak gets cute and gives Tate the bulk of the carries. I agree Ward would be a great flex play with no Foster. Just can't seem to find a spot in my lineup to free up. Good "problem" to have, I suppose.

 

[ceo3west]

Foster says he's likely to go Sunday

 

[rizzler]

Foster says he's likely to go Sunday

Very soon we'll know.It's all about today's practice.

I have a feeling some ward/tate owners are not going to like the news.

 

[rizzler]

The actual audio of Foster giving the what's up for Sunday.

From today.

 

[Oscar]

Can't imagine even if he goes, that he'll get a full load. But against the Colts, half of an effort may be just as good.

 

[Banger]

Foster says he's likely to go Sunday

but he hasn't even been practicing at full speed. Jogging on the sidelines <> playing at NFL speed and taking NFL punishment. He was supposedly "fine" two weeks ago when they put him back in and he re-injured it. Hammy's are tricky things and there is no exact science to it.

 

[PatsFanCT]

Foster owners should sell right now, while you can still get something of value for him. Lingering hammy issues have never boded well for NFL RB's. This is going to end up being a weekly question mark, and huge headache you seriously do not want to deal with all year long. If you can get AJ, Calvin, or Fitz for him now, you should do it.

Just offered Foster for AJ Green.Fingers crossed.

Ward was a very good receiver when he was with the Giants. Of course he's slowed down overall since then, but I'd guess he's still superior to Tate in that respect as well.

this is silly. Theres also possibility that hammy heals and doesnt get reinjured

I find it odd that Salisbury can't find work, yet Marv Albert takes a bite out of a woman and is back in a year.

I think you are selling yourslef short...even dynasty, that is way too much to offer IMO, and in redraft, you would be better off with a guy like Holmes or Bowe.

 

[Funkley]

Taking whatever you can get is crazy. Selling him is not.

Apparently he showed his penis to the wrong person's wife.

 

[Funkley]

When Salsbury.was a Viking he had a reputation for being an all around awful guy to be around. Eventually, that catches up. When your only shtick is being an ex player you need to stay ahead of each seasons newest ex players. He clearly has not.

 

[joffer]

doesn't seem to make sense that he'd play unless he was 100%

they could beat the Colts with Mario Williams tied behind their back

I was sincerely, wholeheartedly not telling the truth.I am an avid Foster supporter.

 

[ghostrider55]

Never, never, never trust a hamstring problem. One wrong stride and you're back to square one. Love the Sean Salisbury talk too btw.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Sell Foster right now? Ridiculous.

If you're worried about his injury this year, let him play a couple of monster games THEN sell him.

 

[Silver & Black]

Did he practice today?

I've heard yes and I've heard noNote: my sources are only Texan fan friends of mine in TEN, so I really have no idea.Nothing official that I can find

Sell Foster now or you guys are going to regret it.

Buy Foster now, or you'll regret it

Saw this note on Rotoworld. No clue if this is just speculation:

Appearing on Sports Center Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter predicted that Arian Foster (hamstring) may play Sunday but "not in a full-time role."

If Foster starts in an attractive matchup against the Colts, he's going to be tough to bench in fantasy leagues even if Derrick Ward and Ben Tate turn this into a three-man backfield. Just know that Foster comes with plenty of risk as more of a RB2 if he does play. Coach Gary Kubiak said Thursday that Foster's workouts continue to improve, but he's yet to practice this week.

If he doesnt play this week (which is looking accurate) then next week will be 3 weeks

so basically it means he's still running on the sideline and nothing has changed...maybe he's running 85% instead of 75%....it's a smokescreen.

 

[rizzler]

That's the thing, it doesn't look accurate.Aside from Foster saying he IS playing sunday (said today), even Schefter now saying he'll suit up.Noone know to what extent, could be a full role, likely not... and yes, there's still a chance he doesn't. But odds are in favour of him playing at the moment.

Check your calculator, his prediction came exactly 8 days ago.

you really are starting to sound like you are willing him to play. all signs are pointing to the contrary. hey im pretty upset about this too. took him at #5 over charles which is starting to look like a mistake. that being said if he comes back fully healthy next week ill be happy. but john clayton has been more accurate than you so far.

WHat signs are pointing to the contrary exactly?Do I need to repeat it?

HE SAID HE IS PLAYING SUNDAY. Schefter ALSO expects him to suit up Sunday.

This does NOT mean he will play, but they are signs in the positive direction, not negative.

Contrary... really?

the recovery time stated was 3-4 weeks from the MRI date (which was the day after he retweaked it vs SF). Not 3-4 weeks after the MRI was tweeted, duh

He hasnt practiced ALL WEEK. Thats a pretty big sign

Is this your first time dealing with the NFL?How many players have been held out of practice as a precaution and still played on a Sunday?It's not like hes in a cast and doing mental reps. He is doing his thing in a lesser capacity.
