Instant Fantasy Analysis - RB D'Onta Foreman, Texans

[The Football Guru 211]

Another case of Houston taking the best player available, although Foreman serves the dual purpose of allowing HC Bill O'Brien the luxury of taking some early-season carries away from Lamar Miller like he hoped without needing to bite his lip watching more Alfred Blue. At least early in 2016, Foreman looked like a spitting image of LeGarrette Blount. By the end of the first month of the season, he appeared to be much more of a finesse runner than power back. Foreman is an intriguing combination of size and quickness for a bigger back, but he fell in this draft in large part to a lack of contributions in the passing game - blocking and receiving - and fumbling woes, which were likely brought on by a broken hand he suffered during the season. Look for Houston to give him an opportunity to steal some short-yardage work from Miller, although the Texans love Miller too much to take him off the field all that often. He should be considered a handcuff with decent redraft and dynasty upside.

I'd feel plenty comfortable taking him at 1.05 in rookie drafts.

Wow. I'd go more like 2.05.
