Running Back Rank: #3
Overall: #3
Foster made a statement from day one last season, rushing for 231 yards and three touchdowns the first week of the season. He didn't match that game the rest of the season, but his numbers were solid throughout. Foster had nine 100-yard games and scored a league-high 18 touchdowns. Foster did it all, catching 66 passes for 604 yards to go with his huge yardage totals. He finished the year with 2,220 total yards. Foster will be the lead back in Houston for years to come. Their blocking scheme is a perfect fit for Foster, who cuts as well as any back in the game right now. Foster has size, speed, vision and plus hands. He also proved to be durable, playing the whole sizing while getting nearly 400 touches. Foster did have minor arthroscopic knee surgery after the season, but this shouldn't be an issue going forward. The Texans used to be a pass-first team, but are moving to a more balanced approach, utilizing a good offensive line.

Foster might be the safe No. 1 pick this season. He plays in a good offense, is coming off a huge season and is just hitting the prime of his career. Foster doesn't have many negatives going for him right now. He might be hard pressed to match last season but he seems a pretty good bet to get around 2,000 total yards and double-digit scores, making him an elite fantasy back. You can't do much better than Foster at this stage of the game. Needless to say, you won't be able to get him as your No. 3 or 4 back like many teams did last season. |
