KOKIDKOKID Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Just saw him get nicked...rolled an ankle, tweaked a hammy maybe....he limped off under his own power but he looked upset.

delfamdelfam Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 minor injury, he got off the field fairly quick and on his own power. Probably a hammy tweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKIDKOKID Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah looked like he grabbed his hammy....that's what the early reports are now. Probably done for the night maybe preseason...why tempt fate. KO'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingpin Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Should Foster owners pick up Ward/Tate just in case? As a foster owner as my #1 and Mcfadden my #2 I am eyeing jahvid best or Hightower and then getting tate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just picked up B. Tate and dropped J. Ford just in case. Ugh! I hate hand cuffing it seems like such a waste of a roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 No WAY i grab Foster at #1 or #2 now , aggravated the same hammy we thought had healed....big worries for owners sitting #1,2,3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Saturday night that he is "hopeful" Arian Foster (hamstring) will be ready for Week 1.Kubiak did confirm Foster's latest hamstring injury is to the same leg (left) that cost him 11 days of camp earlier this month. "We don’t think it’s anything worse than what we were dealing with before," Kubiak insisted. "I’m just hoping... he’ll be ready for opening day." Kubiak did not list Foster as one of the Texans' biggest injury concerns after the game. It's a situation to monitor for a top-two fantasy pick, but ultimately not a big worry.

Pip's Invitation Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Of COURSE this happens the same day that I took Foster at 1.1 in my redraft. Got Tate in the 12th, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Of COURSE this happens the same day that I took Foster at 1.1 in my redraft. Got Tate in the 12th, though.

lennykravitz2004 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My question is: how far from the tree does the apple fall? In other words, Kubiak comes from the Mike Shanagan's coaching tree. If Foster can't go, and the injury ultimately lingers for a few weeks, say 3 regular season games, and Tate lights it up those three weeks, does Foster get his job back?

damageinc Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Got draft tuesday and while I love Foster , I can imagine taking him with the #2 pick. Good chance he misses week one leaving the door open for Tate to atleast make it a committee. Cant we all rememeber how quick Kubiack abandoned Steve Slaton and Dominic Davis. and these were top running backs at the time. Taking Foster is probally riskier then taking CJ now. Just watched sports center and they said they "hoped" Foster would be ready for week 1 and Foster might need to rest his Hammy for a bit. Just as good chance he misses multiple games , ya never know. Alot of risk for the top 3 picks. I say the top guys now are AP and Ray Rice and Charles. Edited August 28, 2011 by damageinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm74 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My question is: how far from the tree does the apple fall? In other words, Kubiak comes from the Mike Shanagan's coaching tree. If Foster can't go, and the injury ultimately lingers for a few weeks, say 3 regular season games, and Tate lights it up those three weeks, does Foster get his job back? I would think so. It would be different if Foster wasn't lighting it up and Tate comes in out of nowhere. I think it is still very safe to take foster at 123, but I would probably take tate a little earlier than expected. Foster is a very good running back but the system/talent helps out a ton. I do not think if you are switching btw foster and tate through the season b/c of injury you will see a large drop in production. Tate has look good in his limited action.

detlef Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Having both, I just hope that they don't rush Foster back. Tate has looked great and looks like he could put up great numbers in that scheme. I just don't want to start Foster, thinking he's going that week, and then have him come out of the game in the 1st quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood_69 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 so when would you/anyone take foster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 in PPR i would not let him fall past #5 , in TD leagues not past #3 , in either case I'd move on Tate in Rd 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Had a rough night yesterday. Drafted Welker and Foster, only to come home and read all the news. That's why I've always said: Fantasy Football is 92% luck and 8% luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Arian Foster (hamstring) tweeted on Sunday morning that he expects to be ready for Week 1."For those sincerely concerned, I'm doing ok and plan to be back by opening day," he said. Texans HC Gary Kubiak confirmed that Foster is dealing with an aggravation of his earlier hamstring injury, and said his star running back never "really got loose and got going" last night. He believes the chilly San Francisco weather may have been a factor. Any injury for a top-two overall player is a concern, but Foster should ultimately be no worse for the wear.
