Running Back Rank: #103
Overall: #457
Foster had the fewest rushing yards of his career, serving as Frank Gore's backup. He ran for 234 yards and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry. Foster got his most work late in the year with Gore hurting, getting double-digit carries three of his last four games. Foster is a big back with decent burst and vision, but doesn't make a whole lot of big plays. He doesn't have game-breaking speed.

Foster has never run for 1,000 yards and his career high in touchdowns is four. Those aren't impressive numbers. He might be worth a late-round pick as a No. 4 or 5 back in deeper leagues, but that is about it. |
