Ben Tate - RB, HOU - Questionable (1 Viewer)

from CBS Sports...

Tate back on practice field: Houston running back Ben Tate was able to get back on the practice field Saturday in preparation of the Week 5 Monday night game against the Jets. The team's official site reported Saturday that coach Gary Kubiak said Tate would "probably be ready" for Monday's game despite his toe injury. He was officially listed as questionable on the injury report.

The only news right now seems to be delivered via Schefter:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Ben Tate (toe) is unlikely to suit up for Monday Night Football against the Jets.

He is officially a game-time decision. Coach Gary Kubiak said Saturday Tate would "probably be ready" to play, but in a game the Texans are favored to win by nearly 10 points, they simply don't need to risk further injury for their No. 2 back. Tate will likely attempt to go in pre-game warmups, but Justin Forsett should be expected to back-up Arian Foster. You need to make other plans if you were planning to throw a Tate hail mary in deeper fantasy league. Oct 8 - 2:02 PM

Further to this:

Justin Forsett will move up one spot on the Texans' running back depth chart with Ben Tate (toe) expected to miss Monday Night Football. In an expected blowout win for the Texans, Forsett is worth a look as a plug-and-play waiver wire pickup for desperate Tate fantasy owners. Forsett averaged 6.38 yards on 29 preseason carries, and rushed six times for 35 yards off the bench in Houston's Week 2 win over the Jaguars. He should have fresh legs on Monday night. Arian Foster will be a workhorse, but Forsett could wrap up late-game, garbage-time carries if the contest gets out of hand. Oct 8 - 2:34 PM

Makes no sense to play him, since his primary role is to be in good shape so that he's available in case Foster is seriously injured.
