HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New York Giants

Lamar Miller received twice as many carries (14) as Alfred Blue (seven) last week against the Titans. Each RB ran for about a five-yards-per-attempt average, but Miller will remain the No. 1 back and see the majority of the touches. There is no reason for Blue to be a part of your starting lineup on Sunday.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Tennessee Titans

Even though Lamar Miller was the workhorse for the Texans in the opener, Alfred Blue was the RB who found pay dirt. Blue finished with 36 yards on five carries and the one-yard score in the loss to the Patriots. Miller will again be the featured back at Tennessee this week. Despite the TD, Blue should remain on your bench as just the handcuff to Miller.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New England Patriots

With Donta Foreman out until at least Week 7 (Achilles), Alfred Blue will once again be the Texans' No. 2 RB. He should only be on your roster as a handcuff to Lamar Miller, who will see most of the action and touches. There is no reason for Blue to be started this week.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

According to Houston Chronicle staffer John McClain, there'll be a lot of competition for the last two or three backfield roster spots behind Lamar Miller and Donta Foreman. Because Blue is good on special teams, McClain believes Blue is likely to make the team again. Assuming that's the case, and given his experience in the regular offense, Blue is likely to be a contributor again—at least early on—with Foreman recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered last December.

Fantasy Upside

As CBSSports.com pointed out, the 27-year-old Blue has career marks of just 3.6 yards per carry and 6.4 yards per catch, "offering little in the way of explosiveness or pass-catching ability."

2018 Bottom Line

Again, assuming he earns his usual role (as the third man in the running back rotation), Blue's value is limited to possible handcuff duty until we have a better idea of the timetable for Foreman's return.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Indianapolis Colts

Thanks to a 48-yard run last Monday in the loss to the Steelers, Alfred Blue became the first Houston RB to post a 100-yard game in 2017. With his team behind for most of the day, Blue finished with 108 yards on 16 carries. Look for Blue and Lamar Miller to split rushing attempts in the season finale, making neither a good fantasy play.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. San Francisco 49ers

With Lamar Miller finishing last week’s contest with 19 total touches, Alfred Blue carried the ball 4 times and caught a 7-yard reception in the loss to the Titans. Blue will continue to be the backup RB, with little reason for him to be on your fantasy roster.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Tennessee Titans

In the loss on Monday night to the Ravens, Alfred Blue ran 8 times for 15 yards and caught 2 passes for 11 yards. Lamar Miller received 17 of the team’s 25 carries and will be the featured back through the rest of the season. Getting some mop-up duty in the dominating win versus Tennessee earlier this season, Blue had 4 rushes for 12 yards. Tennessee is No. 5 at stopping the run, so there has to be a better option for you to start.
