Pierre Thomas

In wake of Arian Foster, Texans to work out Pierre Thomas

The Houston Texans aren't going to be able to replace Arian Foster with any free-agent pickup. But they did make a smart choice when they picked up the phone Tuesday in response to Foster's serious groin injury.

Pierre Thomas is on his way to visit the Texans, NFL Media's Rand Getlin reported according to a source informed of the situation.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story said Thomas is not an every down back, but did believe Thomas is the best of the backs on the market. Thomas has been one of the best passing down options in the league for his entire career. He's especially excellent on screen passes and was effective in 2014 with 4.9 yards-per-carry and 8.4 yards-per-catch. This could potentially hurt Alfred Blue's value a bit as Thomas would be a good fit for Houston in passing situations, but may also steal some carries.

Rapoport: Arian Foster (groin) will miss start of season

The Houston Texans must again prepare for life without RB Arian Foster.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday, per a source informed of the situation, that Foster suffered a major groin injury that will likely necessitate surgery. Foster will miss the start of the season, per Rapoport, and is almost certainly is headed to short-term injured reserve. ESPN.com first reported Foster's injury.

Foster finished Monday's practice on the sideline after he pulled up with a limp during a pass play.

Fantasy Impact: 

This falls right in line with a report we had earlier today that the Foster groin injury was serious. This story went on to say Foster, 28, has missed 11 games over the past two seasons due to injuries and has dealt with groin issues in the past. He remains one of the NFL's top all-purpose running backs when on the field, however. He finished with 1,573 yards from scrimmage and 13 total touchdowns in just 13 games for Houston in 2014. The Texans will move forward with a running back group that includes Alfred Blue, Chris Polk and Jonathan Grimes. Blue would likely get a bulk of the carries without Foster in the picture. Polk is a bigger back who could be used in goal line or short yardage situations or as a change of pace.

Report: Arian Foster suffers serious groin injury

Texans RB Arian Foster's groin injury is serious in nature. Source said it should require surgery and may be candidate for IR with designation for return.

Fantasy Impact: 

Owners in early drafts will want to avoid Foster until Braddock’s report (of surgery) can be confirmed or denied. We’ve moved him down in our rankings, but there isn’t a lot of clarity about the severity of the injury at this point. Foster has a history of soft tissue injuries, but had a relatively healthy season in 2014. Alfred Blue should be the biggest beneficiary from Foster missing any potential games, but Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk are also in the mix. Blue saw 169 carries last year but only averaged 3.1 YPC. If Foster does indeed miss games, then the running back competition in Houston will be one to monitor this summer.

Brian Hoyer

Texans QB Brian Hoyer offers HC Bill O'Brien the more known quantity after starting 14 games for the Cleveland Browns last season, but he finished the year with a 1-to-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his last four games.

Ryan Mallett offers more upside, but he remains a relative unknown with just 79 career passing attempts. Even if Hoyer begins the season as starter, he could at some point give way to Mallett, much like he did late last season with Johnny Manziel.

Tom Savage remains a developmental project who can bide his time behind the other two.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hoyer showed flashes, especially two years ago with the Browns before getting hurt, but last year struggled. If Hoyer wins the job he'll have a better running game to work with compared to Cleveland as Arian Foster is one of the top backs in the league. DeAndre Hopkins will be the featured target of the aerial attack. Cecil Shorts was limited by injuries and reduced opportunities in the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive youth movement, but he arrives as a versatile starting option. Third-round pick Jaelen Strong could carve out an early role as a possession receiver. Right now, the Texans QB starter only has streaming potential until we see more stability.
