Summary

Running Back Rank: #2All Players: #2

Foster had another big season, topping 1,400-rushing yards while scoring double-digit touchdowns. He had at least 1,600 total yards and 12 touchdowns for the third straight season. Foster did have a career high 351 carries, which is a concern. He had at least 25 carries seven times and showed some signs of slowing down late in the season, having fewer than 50-rushing yards three of the last five games. But for the year, he had seven 100-yard games and scored touchdowns all but three games. He was the driving force in the Texans' offense once again and should be once again in 2013. Foster is 27 years old and in the prime of his career. But he has a ton of carries the last three seasons, so look for the Texans to try to lessen his load some to keep him fresh all year. Foster might be the most complete back in the game right now. The Texans blocking scheme is a perfect fit for Foster, who cuts as well as any back in the game. Foster has size, speed, vision and plus hands.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Foster is as consistent as any fantasy back in the game. He gets a ton of work and produces good yardage totals while finding the end zone on a regular basis. You can make a case for him to be the top pick this year but likely will be No. 2 or 3 in most drafts. We think the Texans have to lighten his load some but that might not be a bad thing for him. Less carries could keep his legs fresh for those big runs. We think Foster can get 1,800 or so total yards and 18 touchdowns.

Notes

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster said players are going to step up at the Pro Bowl this year; however, he warns fans to not expect 100 percent effort. Foster said it's unrealistic to expect full effort from the NFL's top athletes when they're limited in the plays they're able to run. 'This isn't basketball - you can't go play a pickup game of football,' Foster said. The running back added if the NFL expects 100 percent effort from its stars and league officials are willing to cancel the game if they don't see that, then the game will likely be scrapped.

The Houston Texans would like RB Ben Tate to handle more carries next season. RB Arian Foster would still receive a majority of the carries.
Fantasy Impact: The Texans can't keep giving Foster so much work if they want him to hold up.
