Arian Foster listed as Dolphins RB1

Sep 05, 2016

Shortly after running back Arian Foster signed with the Dolphins this summer, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said that “time will tell” if Foster is on the field for the first snap of games but that the veteran is “going to be rolling with the ones” during the 2016 season.

It looks like Foster will be able to start rolling with the ones from the start of the regular season. Foster is listed as the starting running back on the team’s Week 1 depth chart after sitting behind Jay Ajayi on earlier versions.

Fantasy Impact:

Gase said that Foster’s experience and his performance in camp helped him jump Ajayi, the story said. Damien Williams is the No. 3 with Isaiah Pead and rookie Kenyan Drake in the “other” category. It's a tough Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks and keep in mind the team does not want to substitute players during drives so Ajayi should still be a factor. But for now Foster looks to be the safer fantasy play.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
