B. O'Brien: Texans RB Arian Foster is 'going to play a lot'

Arian Foster missed eight games in 2013 and sat out the entire preseason slate, but Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien said he plans to ride the veteran running back in his first game back on Sunday against the Washington Redskins.

"Arian's going to play a lot," O'Brien said, per the Houston Chronicle. "After that, we'll see how it goes."

"I believe at some point you'll see all three of those other backs: Jonathan Grimes, Alfred Blue and Ronnie Brown in different situations. But Arian will get the bulk of the playing time," O'Brien said.

Fantasy Impact: 

Foster says he's healthy and he should see a ton of work as long as he's upright. Grimes is his handcuff for now, but rookie Alfred Blue is waiting in the wings.

Arian Foster feels 'wonderful, physically'

Texans RB Arian Foster missed preseason because the Texans wanted to protect him from injury. He underwent season-ending back surgery in 2013.

Asked how he felt, Foster said, “Wonderful, physically.

“I’m excited about that (Sunday’s regular-season opener against Washington). I can’t wait to play football.”

Foster said he has something to prove to himself after missing half of last season.

“I’ve been like that since I’ve been in the NFL,” he said. “I’ve had to prove to myself I could play in this league. That’s part of the reason you keep that chip on your shoulder because you remember the days when you had your doubts.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Foster comes with a lot of risk, but seems to be doing fine leading up to the opener. He starts off the season ranked seventh on our list for Week 1 backs. It's a juicy matchup against the Redskins defense that ranked 29th last year in giving up fantasy points to RBs.

Going into the offseason program, Texans RB Jonathan Grimes was a long shot to make the team and was expected to be the fourth back at best behind Arian Foster, Andre Brown and rookie Alfred Blue. Grimes has developed into one of the team’s best surprises, impressing the new staff with his skills, work ethic and ability to pick up the new system. Brown was released, opening a spot for Grimes. He took advantage of Foster’s hamstring injury to start the first two preseason games and led the team in rushing with 81 yards on 19 carries (4.3 average). He has three catches for 25 yards (8.3 average). He’s improved as a pass protector. Grimes (5-10, 209) impressed the team as an undrafted rookie in 2012 and was placed on the practice squad but was signed by the Jets. He returned to the Texans in 2013 and saw some action near the end of the season.

Fantasy Impact: 

Grimes is currently slated to serve as Arian Foster's primary backup, though rookie Alfred Blue could make a push.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

O'Brien: Texans RB Arian Foster 'very impressive' this week

Texans RB Arian Foster shined during three practices against the Broncos, regularly beating Denver defensive backs and displaying soft hands that were perfect for Ryan Fitzpatrick touch passes.

“Very impressive,” O’Brien said. “(Foster is) a smart player, he’s an instinctive player. … Obviously, when we put him out there, he’s a matchup problem for people. Because he can run routes and he can run all kinds of different routes.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Foster's health is obviously a concern. He has missed 11 games in the last three years, but did play a full season in 2012 and no longer has Ben Tate to worry about. After finishing in the top 2 in fantasy points per game from 2010 to 2012, he was #19 in that category in 2013. At 27, Foster should have plenty of tread left on his tires, though the injuries seem to be piling up. The team wants to get him more involved in the passing game, which is a good sign for his PPR value. He is a risk-reward pick in the 2nd round.
