Arian Foster to PUP list

The Miami Dolphins placed former Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster and four additional players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp on Friday.

Foster signed with the Dolphins last week and is expected to compete with incumbent Jay Ajayi for the starting job at tailback. Foster suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in 2015.

Fantasy Impact: 

There seems to be a lot of excitement surrounding Foster these days, but those owning Ajayi can take this as at least a bit of good news. This should give Ajayi a chance to shine early in camp and earn some valuable reps, especially if Foster's stay on the PUP list is for a significant amount of time. However it still looks like if Foster is healthy, he's going to have a role in this offense.

Adam Gase praises Arian Foster's route running

Dolphins HC Adam Gase talked about RB Arian Foster's route running:

“I’ve always been a fan of how he does things. He’s the type of guy that he can run his route tree similar to what a wide receiver’s is. When we worked him out, I put him in a couple of spots just to see how that looked and he runs about as smooth as any running back that I’ve ever seen. I’ll be interested to see how far we can grow the running back position with him.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Gase said he's admired Foster for quite some time and thinks it's a great opportunity for both the Dolphins and Foster. It's still early, but those targeting or already owning Jay Ajayi probably don't find this a great opportunity. It appears Foster will at least be a big part of the passing game if he can remain healthy.

Inexperience is a major concern with Miami's RB group, pushing Miami to sign Arian Foster last week. Jay Ajayi is still expected to enter training camp as the starter, but Foster will make the second-year player work for the job.

Foster, who will be 30 in August, is coming off an Achilles’ tendon tear that he suffered against the Dolphins on October 25. But he expects to be fully healthy for the start of training camp.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ajayi's stock has fallen with the signing of Foster and he's 38th on our RB list but still has an ADP of the fifth round. However Foster is ranked 35th on our list. Ajayi has the advantage of younger legs, but if Foster can show any signs of his past form, he'll surely eat into Ajayi's fantasy potential causing this to be a committee situation.

Dolphins Beat: Arian Foster, Jay Ajayi 'both should get plenty of carries'

In Arian Foster, the Dolphins believe they are getting the player far closer to the one who averaged 4.8 yards and ran for 1246 yards in 2014 than the one limited to 2.6 per carry in four games last season before a ruptured Achilles.

Foster, who ranks 10th among active backs in career rushing yards, is only 29. But durability has been an issue in recent years. He missed 23 of a possible 48 games, due largely to a 2013 back injury and last year's Achilles' injury, which was sustained in late October against Miami.

But Foster impressed the Dolphins in a workout today -- "looked good," one source said -- and the Dolphins wanted to move quickly before he had a chance to board a flight and work out for Detroit.

Foster will compete with Jay Ajayi for the starting job. But regardless of who starts, both should get plenty of carries, presuming Foster stays healthy. Remember, Adam Gase has raved about Ajayi throughout the offseason program, though he has dropped a few passes.

Fantasy Impact: 

We're anticipating a timeshare for now, with Foster having the better chance to earn a lion's share of touches (if healthy). He also has the better chance of going down with a season-ending or long-term injury.
