robert terni Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Only thing that I read was that he said he feels great and hopes to play! Which doesn't make sense..If someone feels great why would they question if their going to play or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 He didnt practice yesterday which isnt a great sign at this point having already had a bye week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 hoping hes just resting...Its arian foster he doesn't need to practice to play   That is true, just assumed he would be limited after a week off and just do some light work on his own.

Scorcher Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yup, however, he said he's playing. Â The real question might come down to how many quarters, he has left a few games during his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Regardless, Blue should not be on any WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yup, however, he said he's playing. Well actually he said he hopes he's playing, even if he said he is playing that should not be wholly believed. Players and coaches say all sorts of stuff, lots of it is a smoke screen. Â Just look at Panthers coach Ron Rivera, after the disappointing loss to PHI on MNF he comes out and says Cam Newton is not injured, he doesn't know where people are getting that. Then yesterday Newton himself says "I've been playing hurt" (read it today on Huddle new). Obviously one of them is BSing us.

darin3 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 From Rotoworld: Â Â Speaking Thursday, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Arian Foster (groin) will "definitely" be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Browns. Â Foster remained sidelined Thursday. There was early-week optimism that Foster would be ready to rock coming off the Texans' bye, but all current signs suggest he's no better than 50-50 to suit up. It's a nightmare for fantasy owners, and a shame since the Browns have one of the league's very-worst run defenses. Alfred Blue will be a plug-and-play RB2 if Foster sits. Foster's status will be updated no later than Friday afternoon. Nov 13 - 3:55 PM Â Â I went and added Blue just in case in one 12-team league.... If Foster sits I'll plug him in over Joique Bell or T-Rich. CLE's run D is no bueno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Good matchup for whomever starts, doubt Mallett throws the ball a ton unless the Texans are behind early so you start Foster if hes active. Blue if he's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Regarding the Browns run D not being very good, they have been much better the last 3 games. After allowing about 190 yards a game in the first 6 they've only allowed about 90 per game in the last 3. I know that DL Phil Taylor came back recently and that may have helped (he's questionable this week). So those expecting a big game may want to temper their expectations. Â Weather and Mallett's first start will certainly dictate they run a lot, like the Texans always do. Agree whoever starts is worth playing.

LosGatosEnFuegos Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Per Roto: Â Jayson Braddock of 790 Houston reports Arian Foster (groin) will not play Week 11 against the Browns. Â We don't typically use Braddock as a source, but he's had some good Texans nuggets in the past, so it's worth a mention. The Texans have been pretty quiet on Foster's status all week, with coach Bill O'Brien chalking him up as a full-blown game-time decision. Foster, himself, wouldn't commit to playing, simply saying, "We shall see." Foster owners should own Alfred Blue already. If not, you need to be making other plans. Cleveland was already a top-end D/ST streamer, but would become infinitely more attractive if Foster ends up sitting. Â Â Source: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) If true, not a good sign for Foster owners that ( A ) he's being declared 'out' two days before the game; and ( B ) two weeks wasn't enough recovery time. It's not like Houston is playing out the string - this is an important game for a 4-5 team. Edited November 14, 2014 by nelsosi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not only will I use Blue this week as a RB streamer, but I may just hold on to him for the long haul. Foster's an egg waiting to crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboCowboy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just picked up Blue, and I hope I'm right about this, but we'll see. Â The O line has proven itself to open up the run for Foster that probably over half the backs in the league would also exploit. Nothing against Foster, as I've watched him seemingly effortlessly do things that are much more difficult than they appear, but I do believe that Blue will get 80% of what Foster would get given the same play calling and performance from the line. I'll take that all day. Â BTW, I don't believe in handcuffing. Never understood why I would want the backup in a situation just like this IF a better RB is out there ready to be scooped up or is already on my bench. Handcuffing by default makes no sense.

Dolphin_Akie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 If Arian is out, I'm rolling with Blue over Montee Ball but guess that doesn't mean too much at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
