Is Arian Foster a top 10 dynasty RB? (1 Viewer)

[gianmarco]

Simple question. The guy is undoubtedly having a great year. However, where does he fall next year?

The composite of the 4 FBG staff rankings over the last 2 weeks has him at RB15. One has him ranked as high as RB8 and the other 3 are out of the top 10.

Most would have at least the following:

AP

CJ3

Rice

MJD

Then likely: Gore, Mendenhall, Best, McCoy, Stewart, DMC, Charles, Mathews in no particular order.

Does Foster go ahead of some of those guys?

 

[flc735]

top 10, yes and there's nothing more to it

adp wise, most likely

1) AP

2) CJ2k

3) foster

 

[pidgeonmanza]

I said yes, but I worry about Ben Tate coming back and taking some carries. I definitely wouldn't have him at 3, but I still would probably have him in the 7 range. Behind the adp, cj, rice, mjd, gore, and mendenhall. The lions seem to be far to willing to give the ball to Kevin Smith to put Best ahead of him. Jahvid has also struggled since the beginning on the year (this could be because of injury, but still). I think it's hard to rank charles stewart and matthews right now, because we don't know if thomas and williams will be back, and we don't know if norv turner will be gone, and a coach more willing to give matthews carries will take over.

For next year, I'd expect Foster to definitely be ahead of Stewart, Matthews and Best. Likely everyone else but Gore. Top 5 isn't out of the question.

Top 10...AP - 25CJ3 - 25Foster - 24Rice - 23MJD - 24Mendenhall - 23Gore - 27Best - 21McCoy - 22DMC - 23Gore drops outside of top 5 because of age. MJD concerns me a bit with the lack of production so far this year but it's getting better.Foster is only 24 years old and this is the first year of a consistent workload. ASSUMING he keeps up production for the rest of the year, the only RB's I would draft ahead of him in dynasty would be AP, CJ, and maybe Rice. And Houston's blocking scheme is phenomenal. He is the perfect 1-cut and go back for that team. Stewart concerns me. Even if DWill is gone next year, I have little confidence in Carolina's ability to produce anything offensively. Clausen/Moore throwing to Old Smith, Gettis, LaFell... if that aint a guaranteed 8-man box, I don't know what is.

 

[grateful zed]

what about forte?

 

[mr roboto]

what about forte?

Would you trade him for DMC, Best, Mendy, McCoy? I would.O-line is brutal. No reason to think it's gonna get much better. Cutler/Martz/bad o-line=

 

[flc735]

im speaking apd only. which is different from player value, expected future production, or personal rankings.

would any of your dynasty leaguemates give you foster for mjd, rice or gore right now?

some would, but i think the majority would not. no one would take mendy, charles, jstew, mathews or mccoy for foster, we know that. (dmc could rise above foster if he continues this play right now)

i recently saw a thread here comparing rice to bradshaw and a surprising amount of people sided with bradshaw. which to me says rice is not generally valued in the top 5 rb range right now.

nothing in jax should change enough to inspire a renewed confidence in mjd next year (2010 gore-like). a 1st round OT would help, but it wouldn't create enough buzz to really convince people mjd will be back to his 2009 form.

mainly, when the common owners see the 2010 #1 rb still on the board at pick 1.05, he's gone

 

[Domination]

I will probably be in the minority, but I think Foster holds the most value for his current owners. I own ADP, Rice, and McFadden and wouldn't trade any if the 3 for Foster. He is having a great year, no doubt about it. But I find it hard to think that anyone owning a Top 5, maybe even Top 10 RB is going to trade them for Foster. That being said, if I owned Foster, that is what I would try to get in return. I personnally think he is a sell high, and would tryt to sell him now for a proven elite RB. Otherwise, I think you will have an RB stud most likely for the rest of this year, but injury history and an average oline will catch up to him and make you wish that you had.

Just my , maybe I missed the boat, but I am not buying.

Foster is top 5 easy. This guy has been undervalued the entire year and that's for good reason. With stocks you will rarely see it just jump from 50 to 100 dollars even if the new information substantiated such a move. It takes time, sometimes perhaps months. It's the early birds who benefit. Right now I'm attempting a forte plus orton trade for arian in a dynasty format and I think it'll get done. He is still being undervalued, especially his talent. It's not his situation, the talent is there.

 

[fridayfrenzy]

top 10, yes and there's nothing more to itadp wise, most likely 1) AP2) CJ2k3) foster

Foster being ranked this high in dynasty rankings after 8 games? I think not.

 

[RhymesMcJuice]

Given the history of the Texans running game, I would be hesitant to call any RB for them a top 10 dynasty back. With that said, he has looked the part. If he can finish the 2nd half of the season like the first I'll buy into it.

 

[FGITLOTR]

You are crazy if you think Kubiak doesn't get Tate involved in the mix next year, and at worst is the short yardage/g back

 

[Hendo]

This post exemplifies just how over reacting this game is...

 

[Heep]

I had him on a dynasty team and traded him for Beanie/Pettigrew. I like how he has looked this year, but with the guys who have performed in that system, it scared me. I like talent over situation and that's why I made that deal.

This is kind of how I feel as well. I will admit that I definitely missed the boat on him and that, after now paying attention, he looks legit. That said, I don't know if I can honestly put him ahead of some of the guys I listed above. I think RB9-10 range is about right but not sure about more.

 

[Black]

Three problems with Foster...

1. Kubiak 2. Kubiak 3. Tate/Ward

Most guys have issues anyways, so just part of the deal. Probably better than having a huge injury history.

MJD we have to see how he performs with team doing better. Rice we need to see if he can do better for whatever is going on (Playcalling? DEF scheming for him? More passing to the likes of Boldin?).

Using this list (AP - 25, CJ3 - 25, Foster - 24, Rice - 23, MJD - 24, Mendenhall - 23, Gore - 27, Best - 21, McCoy - 22, DMC - 23), I woulld take Foster over Mendy, Gore, Best, DMC. I might bump McCoy up to #3 in PPR leagues.

 

[FFdork]

Well, I was dead wrong about him for redraft purposes, so no reason to expect I won't be the same for dynasty.

I own him in my dynasty and while I will happily keep him I will also trade him to anyone that offers me a trade that values him as a top 10 dynasty back. Partially that's because I'm really solid at RB and partially that's because the RB situation in Houston has been too fluid to feel that comfortable about his future prospects.

Oh to answer the original question I would rank him somewhere 8-15 for dynasty backs right now. After the top 4 or so there's a big jumble of guys that are really hard to sort.

 

[Steed]

LOL at people citing Derrick Ward as a reason not to like Foster.

Because he's STILL younger than Foster. Even if he doesn't get the job until next year, if he does, who would you rather own? Despite sitting for 3 yrs as a backup, he's still going to be one of the youngest starters in the league if he gets the job next year. And the talent is unquestionable.

 

[Magic Man]

My god, how is S. Jackson not in the top 10 of these lists? This dude does most with the least in the league.

 

[Fear & Loathing]

My god, how is S. Jackson not in the top 10 of these lists? This dude does most with the least in the league.

Yeah, he probably should be right there in the 7-10 mix. On second thought, I'd put him in the Top-10.

 

[humpback]

My god, how is S. Jackson not in the top 10 of these lists? This dude does most with the least in the league.

I have him inside the top 10 as well, but just barely. He's not in the top 10 scoring right now and has had a cake schedule so far. Plus, he's going to be 28 and is constantly injured. His days of being a slam-dunk top 10 RB are over IMO.

I would put Jackson in the top 10 for a contending team, but not for a start up or one in rebuild mode.

I like this listing. Only personal changes I would make is drop Rice to 6 and move Charles down to 10. SJax/Best would be tied at 11.

So maybe put an asterisk next to his name stating its contingent on Carolina letting Williams go. It will probably be a new regime so you never know. But as his situation stands now, and assuming Williams will be franchised, Stewart is not a top 10 dynasty rb.

 

[flc735]

Foster being ranked this high in dynasty rankings after 8 games? I think not.

not my rankings, not SP rankings either. i would not take him as the 3rd rb.most leagues are not filled with SP'ers, when a normal person spots the #1 rb from last year still available in the middle of the 1st, he is takenassuming he continues this production

 

[Rockchild]

I only own him in one league and will ride him as far as I can this year but plan to see what I can get for him in the offseason. Hopefully, someone will overpay for him and I can get a Best or Matthews plus a little something extra. I like his situation in Houston and not really worried too much about Tate as he will have to be that much better than Foster to take the job away.

This goes to my point exactly...I think that this is the opinion of most Foster owners. They will get everything that they can from him this year, and then try trade him for elite RB value. The Foster owner in one of my leagues has already made him available, and his price while high, is no where near where it should be if he was viewed as a future RB stud. If you own him, the best thing you can do is keep him

 

[mr roboto]

LOL at people citing Derrick Ward as a reason not to like Foster.

LOL harder at people citing Kubiak as a reason not to like Foster.

I'm with this. Kubiak may be a hard### with his RB's, but he has not had one with this kind of production/talent before. Slaton was a one-year wonder. Kubiak never really wanted him to be the every-down type back.If Foster holds onto the ball and continues to produce, there is no reason to think he will be benched for a guy like Tate. Maybe a solid RBBC, which would drop his value a bit.If Tate proves to be as good as Foster, they will long term probably only keep one of them. Then either Foster goes to a RB-hungry team or Tate gets traded.Unless Kubiak is an idiot, he's probably thinking he's found his feature RB.

 

[mizat000]

Barring injury, there is no way Foster is not in the top 10 next year. That O-line is great for any RB. One thing people overlook is Foster's receiving talent. I have watched most of his games this year and he catches practically everything thrown his way.. he even made a nice one hand grab on Sunday night off a Schaub dump off pass. He had twice as many receiving yards as Tate in college with less time as the feature back. The guy is big, durable, and deceptively fast. Even if Tate steals some carries next year, Foster will still get all the goal line looks.

 

[SSOG]

Foster being ranked this high in dynasty rankings after 8 games? I think not.

10 games. Foster had 19/97/1 and 20/119/2 in the last two games of 2009 after finally earning the job.

You are crazy if you think Kubiak doesn't get Tate involved in the mix next year, and at worst is the short yardage/g back

Ben Tate is a 218 pound back best known for his straight line speed. Arian Foster is a 230 pound back with great vision. Why on earth would Houston replace Foster for Tate in short yardage/goal line situations?

This post exemplifies just how over reacting this game is...

The problem with RB's is that they're not on top for very long, so you need to act quickly if you want them at their best. I can see all of the arguments, but ask yourself this- which RB in dynasty who qualifies as a starter (so, assuming you start 2 RB's you're looking at a minimum of top 20 to top 30 or so in most leagues) and fits all of the following criteria more so than Foster? 1) is young; 2) has at least good talent; 3) is on a team with a good offense, including both a good QB and WR; 4) is the primary ball-carrier for his team, meaning >65% of his team's carries and plays all 3 downs5) is a good receiver out of the backfield; 6) is capable of putting up elite fantasy numbers in any given game; 7) Doesn't have chronic health issues; and8) is presently obtainable in dynasty for non-elite player(s) in trade. I can't think of one such player who would qualify more than Foster. I can't rank him lower than 4th or 5th, and he may be higher given how good his situation is. BTW, for those who put down on situation, that's like trying to see well when covering one eye. I seem to recall Emmitt Smith making a HOF career out of his situation and being at an elite FF level for around 7-8 seasons. I also see people exasperated over a talented guy like Stewart who is languishing in a God-awful situation. Foster's situation won't change any time soon, and it's genuinely good. This is after all a team sport. I'm just having trouble identifying anyone who is in a better overall position given both his talent and his situation.EDIT- as a quick aside, I would predict within a year that Best would rank high up if not at the top of such a list.

 

[Badgers Fan]

Power , speed, vision, agility, ability.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-fantasy/0900...oster-33-yd-run

It's all right there.

Steve Slaton had 318 touches in 2008. In the first 7 games last year, 109 carries, 27 catches. 136 touches. Nearly 20 a game. He was replaced because he fumbled every game and he had a garbage ypc. Kubiak wants to have a lead running back. Foster is that guy. If he keeps playing at this level, he will be a top 5 running back for the next 3-4 years atleast. Andre will still be in his prime, Schaub is still a threat, owen should get healthier for next year, jacoby jones will gain more experience. The only question mark is Tate. Many 2nd round rb's are used for pure depth. Hello, Toby Gerhart? If Foster is getting about 100-120 total yards a game and throwin in a crap load of touchdowns, there is zero chance he is not the main back for every game he plays. Period.

3) is on a team with a good offense, including both a good QB and WR; certainly

4) is the primary ball-carrier for his team, meaning >65% of his team's carries and plays all 3 downs looks like it now

5) is a good receiver out of the backfield; see the last drive of last week's game, yes

6) is capable of putting up elite fantasy numbers in any given game; proven

7) Doesn't have chronic health issues; not yet

8) is presently obtainable in dynasty for non-elite player(s) in trade. WAT? I wish.

Here's why people have a hard time with this. McFadden, McCoy, Matthews, Best, Spiller, Stewart and those types, were all touted out of college. This guy was an UDFA. It's the lack of big name recognition coming out of college.Combine current production with all the reasons mentioned above, and I can only make a CLEAR case for AP and CJ2K being ahead of him IN DYNASTY. Gore and SJax may produce more or be safer in redraft, but not Dynasty.

Also, elite, year-after-year RB's are rare in FF. The turnover is shocking.

 

[eaglesfan7]

MJD is not a top 4 dynasty running back. He'll drop to the 6, 7 or 8 pick next season in startups. I'll take Foster over him any day.

 

[fridayfrenzy]

MJD is not a top 4 dynasty running back. He'll drop to the 6, 7 or 8 pick next season in startups. I'll take Foster over him any day.

Ill take the RB who has done it year and year out. Foster may end up being similar to another Houston RB, Slaton. A guy who has a hot season, is touted as a top 10 dynasty pick going into the next season and then doesn't follow it up. MJD is a much much much safer dynasty play.

It's a matter of opinion of course but MJD has many, many miles on those knees. Foster will be around for a long time no matter team or system he is playing for. The difference between Foster and Slaton is huge. Slaton caught the ball well and has never really been a "runner" so to speak. He's not a guy who runs it up the middle since he's too small. Foster will run up the middle, is the goal-line back and catches extremely well. If you watch the Texans the past 3 years you would easily notice the difference.

The ONLY similarity to these guys is the team they play for. BAD analogy.Foster has 20-30 lbs. and 4 inches on Slaton. He has 1 fumble this season. He runs up-field after 1 cut. He can lower his shoulders.Slaton was never drafted to be an every-down back. Foster has what it takes.

 

[thatguy]

For all those saying to trade him for an "elite" dynasty RB, have you not been watching? Foster IS an elite dynasty RB. He's been doing it for 10 games now, and that is not a short period of time in the NFL. He has displayed tremendous all-around talent and there is no reason to think his position as the Texans' bell cow is any more or less tenuous than the other top RB's in the NFL right now. Foster is legit and he's here to stay.

 

[SSOG]

It's a matter of opinion of course but MJD has many, many miles on those knees.

Many, many miles? The guy has 1,004 career carries. Adrian Peterson has 76 more carries despite the fact that MJD has been in the league for a year longer. MJD's only topped 200 carries once in his career.

What is Jonathan Stewart doing above Arian Foster and Frank Gore? Not only does he need almost a total team transformation and DeAngelo to be gone to have any sort of chance of equaling Gore or Foster, he has many more health concerns and at the current moment is not showing anywhere near the burst or skills as either one. No way I can consider Stewart anywhere near either of those two right now.

 

[The Comedian]

Stewart remains the most over-rated player by the FBG community and staffers. On this week's Audible Bloom, after talking about how Foster was legit, discussed Jonathan Stewart in his "Stop the Insanity" segment telling owners to hold onto Stewart even though he's looked like poop this year. During this segment, mentioned that he wouldn't blame a Stewart owner for maybe trading Stewart "for like an Arian Foster plus a 1st round pick and an upgrade somewhere else."

I'd love to find the league where the Foster owner would trade him even straight up for Stewart, nevermind giving up more.

I agree. That trade is almost inconceivable to justify from the angle of the person giving up Foster. The current #1 fantasy RB for the current #38 RB when the #1 is younger, looks better, and is in a much better situation with less competition is crazy enough on its own without significant other players/picks being involved.

Stewart remains the most over-rated player by the FBG community and staffers. On this week's Audible Bloom, after talking about how Foster was legit, discussed Jonathan Stewart in his "Stop the Insanity" segment telling owners to hold onto Stewart even though he's looked like poop this year.

I own Foster, and no way in hell would I trade away Foster for Stewart. The only RBs I'd take for Foster are AP and CJ. Yeah, yeah, I know. MJD, Ray Rice, Steven Jackson. Nah. No thanks. Foster for AP or CJ and that's the end of the discussion.I know that Stewart is a brilliant talent. But I think it'd be insane to trade Foster for Stewart.

Foster is right up there for me, but I won't lie... Ben Tate is a threat to his carries next year.
