Arian Foster vs Eagles (1 Viewer)

[Badgers Fan]

Arian has answered any questions anyone can have. But coming off 39 touches, and the amount of touches he's had all year combined with the fact he's never had more than 284 touches in a year (about 3 years ago in college), anyone think on thursday night, only 4 days after his massive workload, the Texans tone it down with him? Even if AJ is out?

Nope. They don't have any choice and Kubiak's job is likely on the line, so he'll run him into the ground if he has to. I do think it's possible that we see a little more of Ward mixed in, but Foster's workload is still going to me significant.

He'll get fewer touches for sure... because the Eagles will be up 21-0 in a blink with that offense going against the Texans pass defense (no Rusty Smith on Thursday).

Schaub might put it up 50 times in a blowout loss if that works to your advantage.

nah, esp not after what forte did.........even if philly blows houston out, if you look at all the games in the past where houston has been down big, foster has pretty much still salvage a good fantasy day....texans need to hope mario williams and all can get a pass rush on him like the giants and bears did

I really hope you are on to something but this kid looks like a healthy young beast now with nothing stopping him. I don't think he slows down until 2011. As we know RBs coming off years with the amount of carries he will have this season usually slow down some the next season. Highly doubt he puts up the numbers he has been this year going into next year. May not be huge drop off but it will likely be lower all around numbers. Amazing that I got him and Hillis with late round picks early in the drafting season and Hillis on waivers in lots of leagues. Just wish i didn't stop picking AF when he started getting drafted in the 2-3 rounds. I was so used to getting him in great value spots it scared me away when others started taking him in the late second early third rounds later in the drafting season.. that was the biggest mistakes i made this year was just that esp. with the bigger high stakes leagues being just before the season started.
