Steve Slaton (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter rascal
- Start date
RBBC like a bunch of other teams in the league. Glad I traded him for Bowe a couple of weeks ago. He's a low-level RB2 at this point.
After I post this he scores... but I stand by my statement. He will get some yards every week and maybe a TD. I'd put him in the same category as guys like DeAngelo Williams.

This may be the best overreaction thread of all time. He leads the team in touches today, and ran in beautiful 20+ yd TD in maybe five minutes after the post.

Or, you know, you could look at more than 45 minutes of football before deciding one of the best surprises of the season is done. Either way.While you're at it, how about a thread about Plax being useless? I could use the help.

Yes, I think I speak for all Slaton owners when I say, "Thank you, Rascal!!!"PS: Ahman Green is not the #1 in Houston... not unless he procured a time machine and went back in time 8 years to when he wasn't made of glass.

Slaton score gives me the pts to break a tie and keep my division lead.
Green has slowed down so much over the last couple years I dont know how anyone would think he is going to be a lead back again. Green at best is a RBBC guy and that is the best he will be this late in his career.

RBBC is the best thing that could have happened to Green. It will give him another year or 2 to play.. ala Fred Taylor.

Not yet, you're just gonna have to trust this Texans fan. There probably weren't too many casual NFL fans who watched that game, but I did. He was definitely hurt. The extent of the injury is unknown. My guess is it's another one of the nagging variety.

Also Texan fan who watched the whole game, what he saying is correct. R.Moats came in also after it happened. The coaches was looking at him on the sidelines where he was grabbing his thigh.

"Be curious to hear the status of Ahman Green. He ran the ball well early in this drive but was dragged down with a horse-collar tackle by Bengals linebacker Brandon Johnson and has not returned. He was favoring his left leg as he walked to the sidelines."

I would like to see more touches for Slaton.. Moats seems to be the same size/type of RB Slaton is, so would they still run the 2 in RBBC? I guess that is yet to be seen.. but if you get any info during the week's practices I'd love to hear about it!

Yeah right.Rototworld - The injury Ahman Green suffered in Week 8 was to his hamstring.The severity isn't yet known. Green finished with 45 total yards on 10 touches before exiting and Ryan Moats took over as Steve Slaton's backup.Source: houstontexans.comThe Slaton train is back in business! ALL ABOARD! CHOO CHOO!!!

With Portis and ADP, he's been a spot play for me but as a bye week guy (like this week and coming up week 10) he's MONEY.
Even with Green hovering since return, you can't have many, if any complaints about this kid, especially considering where he was drafted in most leagues.
Keep feeding him the ball, Kubiak.

If Green is sidelined for a couple weeks, it is good news for Slaton owners as he will surely get more touches. But, I have a tough time getting excited when those two weeks include going to Minnesota and hosting Baltimore.Baltimore has only given up 450 yards rushing (#1) / 1 TD / 2.8 rushing average / 1 run allowed over 20 yards / Minnesota has only given up 495 yards rushing (#2) / 7 TD/ 2.9 rushing average / 3 runs allowed over 20 yards/ Minnesota's defense has been allowing the TDs, but they are still #2 in rushing yards allowed and lead the NFL in fumbles. Baltimore is a force this year against the run, period. I would have a hard time starting anyone against them this year. 1 TD allowed on the ground through 7 games....ouch.

Minn D might lose both Williams DT due to testing positive for steroid masking agent.

They should bring in Travis Henry. Cramped groin was apparently not his problem.

From Rotoworld: Ahman Green-RB-Texans Oct. 29 - 10:29 pm et Texans coach Gary Kubiak revealed after Wednesday's practice that Ahman Green is dealing with injuries to both his knee and groin.He's listed on the injury report with a thigh problem and didn't take part in the workout. "His groin tightened up on him," Kubiak said. "He got his knee banged on the same play to soreness in his leg. So, it’s just a combination of things." Green is day to day and uncertain to play in Week 9.Source: houstontexans.com
From Fleaflicker:
Texans running back Ahman Green did not practice on Wednesday, and if he is going to play Sunday, would like to practice by Friday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Green was dealing with a sore groin and hamstring. If he practices by Friday, he's likely to play. Otherwise, his status is up in the air.

Tell me more about Moats -- was he used situationally or as a COP back, or was he actually splitting carries? In a deep, RB-happy league, would love to get a jump on Moats if he could see the ball as an RBBC, no matter which D Houston has to face.

What has been slightly surprising is his low number of catches. After the Jacksonville game, a lot of people figured he would catch a lot of balls, but that hasn't been the case. Then again, they have been winning most of their games the last month, so they haven't been playing in catch-up mode, where they are throwing the ball a ton. It will be interesting to see how many catches he gets as their schedule gets tougher.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't both the Williams' tackles out for this game? Wouldn't that have a huge effect on Minnesota's D? Add in that they are on the backup MLB. Can you now run on them up the middle? Would it have as much of an effect to say he would have a neutral matchup, or even a favorable one now?

Not unless suspensions are announced between now and Sunday. Speculation is that the two will start their suspensions after the GB game in a couple of weeks.

Thanks, I wasn't sure when or if they were suspended and that would be a big difference if they were still there. I think that must have been wishful thinking on my part.

He was signed primarily for his excellent special-teams skills and saw action in the running game last Sunday because of Green's injury late in the game. He has some value because he's third on the depth chart and the guy ahead of him is a walking injury report. I wouldn't rush out to get Moats unless you're really, really desperate.Stompin said:

THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA

Id said the same myself, But being a homer, i think anyone could do well behind that line.Still that didnt sell me on the fact to add Moats. I had to do some homework....Moats was a FBG Darling at one point. Most compared him style EXACTLY to Westy. I think he is a potential threat to Slaton as he is a all around rush/rec rb with some speed at that. Just for the fact he cost you NOTHING at this point its worth it too see if anything matuers out of it. And like the previous poster mentioned.....Green is on the injury report all the time and Kubiak already stated he will give the backup rb carries so he wont overwork Slaton, whom is on some sorta touch count. Only worth the add in a deep roster league imo, (23++)
