Summary

Running Back Rank: #1
Overall: #1

Foster missed a couple games early in the year with a knee injury but played at a very high level once on the field and playing. He missed three games but still ran for more than 1,200 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. Foster was even more impressive in two playoff games for the Texans, rushing for 285 yards and three touchdowns. He carried the offense for the Texans down the stretch with their third-string quarterback at the helm. Foster had seven 100-yard games and scored touchdowns in all but four games. He has 30 touchdowns the last two seasons. Foster does it all for the Texans, averaging 60 receptions for 611 yards the last two seasons. 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. The Texans used to be a pass-first team, but are moving to a more balanced approach, utilizing a good offensive line and the talents of Foster.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

His season was overlooked a little last year because of his injury stuff to start the season but Foster was awesome last year. He might be the safe No. 1 pick this year. He gets consistent work in this offense and just posts monster numbers. A season with 2,000-plus total yards and double-digit scores seems likely for the coming year. He is our top rated player and should be one of the first three picks off the board. You won't find a more consistent back in the game.
