	#44 Ben Tate
		Pos: Running Back NFL Team: HOU Injury: Probable Injury Type: shoulder		Experience: 1 College: Auburn Height: 71 Weight: 219 Born: 8/21/1988

Summary

Running Back Rank: #42
Overall: #134

Despite starting just a couple games, Tate ran for nearly 1,000 yards last season. He showed his big-time potential in this running game. Tate had four 100-yard games and averaged a very impressive 5.4 yards per carry. He made a lot of big plays in the running game, serving as the top backup to Arian Foster. Tate had double-digit carries eight times. His playing time will be a little sporadic with Foster entrenched as starter but Tate will get his work because of his talent. The Texans will try to get him around 10 touches per game. Tate is a good fit for the Texans offense. He is a one-cut runner that hits the hole in a hurry and can get to the next level with little effort. Tate also has good size, giving him the ability to run over would-be tacklers.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Tate is a must handcuff for Foster owners but you'll need to act a little earlier than normal for this handcuff. Tate is a legit No. 3 fantasy back. He might have a hard time matching last year if Foster is healthy all year but he can still get 800 or 900 total yards in a reserve role. He could get five or so touchdowns.
