LMAO yes it is a big boasting fest but the guys who didn't stash Blue better have solid back ups.Has this thread really devolved into a bunch of scrubs boasting about passing on the highest scoring RB on a PPG this year in the 3rd round?
Yeah, he was high/risk reward so there was extra incentive to roster Blue but assuming you did you're fine.
Even with a very very average backup the combo of foster when he has played plus that very average backup during the weeks he hasnt played has still been a lot of points.LMAO yes it is a big boasting fest but the guys who didn't stash Blue better have solid back ups.Has this thread really devolved into a bunch of scrubs boasting about passing on the highest scoring RB on a PPG this year in the 3rd round?

But they're still alive in the playoff hunt. Blue is limited as a runner. I think Foster is back this week, guess we'll see
Ha! So did I. I guess I was curious if some homers or other folks with better access to info have heard anything one way or the other that maybe the general population hasn't heard.
I pulled my groin a long time ago back in high school. It felt sort of like a dead leg where you just couldn't accelerate but if they feel he is ready why wouldn't they play him? No need to shut him down as I don't see it as the type of injury that would put your next season at risk. Worst case would be you re aggravate and then would need a few extra weeks to heal up during the off season.mnmplayer said:
Same here-- this dude could win a lot of FF titles if he is healthy enough to play.
I sort of agree with you. But he was the same way the previous times he came back from injury. Very limited or no practice, then all of a sudden 100%. Problem is, O'Brien isn't truthful, so it's a big mess.
I thought SOME practice was better than NO practice. IMO he tested it last Wednesday, and decided to give it a little more time. I bet he plays.
Cincy had stiffened up the previous week against New Orleans. I didn't look at that as a good matchup. TEN continues to get gashed...
I talked about this in the Blue thread but CIN wasn't a plus match-up. CIN has been a high variance defense all year but they looked stout vs. NO and it carried over to HOU. TEN is statistically the worst inside rush stopping team [SIZE=13.63636302948px](allowing 28.2PPG to RBs in their last 4) in the league. If Blue gets the go ahead this would likely be the best possible match-up for him and I'd treat him like a low-end RB1. [/SIZE]
Your #### posts were bearable when they included shtick. Now, not so much.
I don't think anyone is disappointed with his production versus his ADP... and as long as he is declared OUT prior to kick-off it's not a season killer.
Foster is on par with Demarco Murray in production this year in PPR for the games he's played so yeah. Won't shed the fragile tag after this year tho, like Murray seems to have done if he can close out the final 5 games.
I've only seen a few of your posts, but they, like the one above, are all horrible. You should work on that.
Interesting comparison because Foster was a freaking work horse for a couple of years with severe usage and was fine. Now he's had a terrible patch. Which is exactly what Murray had at the BEGINNING of his career and took multiple seasons to get over. But people only remember the most recent stuff.
I agree with what you are saying in general, however Foster is 1.5 years older than Murray, and his recent injuries are non contact in nature which points to his body not being able to cope with staying in game shape over the course of a season any longer. He has had back/hamstring injuries dating back to 2011 and now another soft tissue injury to his groin; these are all related to quick changes of direction and sudden bursts. That is a much different issue from Murray who had contact injuries, broken ankle in his first season and foot/knee iirc in the years following. Broken bones are not a lingering type injury and heal back to 100% or better usually. Hamstrings and groins once worn out make the player less effective over the course of his career (see LT after his groin injury) and repeatedly flare up when overworked. Foster also has more tread wear with 57% more touches 1507 vs < 1000 touches from Murray. Foster will be 29 next season coming off back to back seasons with significant time missed.
I disagree. He came back from the hamstring injury before he was ready. Lucky he didn't re-aggravate then, imo. I think I saw a post-game interview or news story where he said he had played because he wanted to try and help the team get a much needed win, even if he couldn't help as much as usual. That tells me there's a chance, even if it's small, he could be active but only for limited/emergency usage. imo they'd only need Foster this week if Blue gets hurt or Fitzy throws TDs to the wrong team.
I didn't see anyone on our waiver wire named "Mailbox". Was this a recent pickup by HOU? Sounds like this guys got potential!SameSongNDance said:
