notamomo Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Wow. I guess i'm starting Blue. Arian Foster - RB - Texans Appearing on GameDay First, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Arian Foster (hamstring) is a "long shot" to play against the Giants on Sunday. It appears Foster's league-high 55 carries have already caught up to him. As a 28-year-old workhorse with past hamstring issues, Foster simply can't hold up to this insane workload. It's likely to be the Alfred Blue show this week against the G-Men, with Ronnie Brown mixing in on passing downs. Blue has some RB2/FLEX appeal in this run-heavy offense. The Giants are missing MLB Jon Beason. Related: Alfred Blue Sep 21 - 8:42 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thank you Huddle! Friday night I picked up Blue in two leagues. In one, I noticed the Foster/Grimes owner dropped Grimes two minutes after I picked up Blue. He probably saw Blue out there a minute before I got him. LOL...NICE!

nelsosi Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Foster being inactive today would be one thing....but I'm most interested in what the overall severity of his injury is and what the potential is for a multi-game absence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan_5 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The bigger question is, is blue playable? I haven't seen enough of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheMan_5 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Absolutely, it's the giants. I'm still a little concerned about Grimes. Going with Lamar Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Absolutely, it's the giants. The other real question is whether you trust him over someone like Joique Bell, CJ1K, or B.Pierce today. Dont' worry not a WDIS question, just gauging value. Foster has been a nice surprise, and if Blue can produce similar points, then a no brainer. But worried he's not ready for the full load as a rook. Dropped my 3rd QB for Blue this morning just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theirish Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well he is a better play today then Bernard pierce since it looks like pierce will be sitting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Owning Foster last year finally paid off! As soon as I saw that I grabbed Blue. I don't think Foster will take chances anymore. For me it is just a matter of trusting him over Crowell, Gerhart and Carlos Hyde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well he is a better play today then Bernard pierce since it looks like pierce will be sitting as well. Wow, didn't hear that yet. Thanks, and yes I would assume he would be a better play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think Blue surprises today. Sure, Grimes and Brown will be in the mix but I think Blue gets the Lion's share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
