Slim Pickins 0 Posted September 21, 2014 Ian Rapoport just reported it is unlikely Arian Foster will play today. I didn't see it on the first page so I thought I would update. He states Blue would get the start with Ronnie Brown in the mix as well. I don't own him but as a Texans fan, I'm hoping they still beat the NY football Giants.

We Tigers 71 Posted September 21, 2014 As a Foster owner, I'm inclined to pick up Blue in case this lingers, but I'm not crazy about starting him today if Foster sits. The workload is uncertain and it's not a great matchup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted September 21, 2014 pick him up. vs. Giants. could be big day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robbykidd 3 Posted September 21, 2014 Playing the Foster owner....just snagged Blue. Looks like he'll be running out Stepfan Taylor as his #1 back today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigeru 65 Posted September 21, 2014 Blue any good should I drop Hyde Asiata or Robinson for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted September 21, 2014 Here is the question we all have to ask- is he a one week pony only, and then an insurance policy after that? If this is true, do we have room to stash him? For example, I just cut Benjamin in order to pick him up. This may not be wise, but I am desperate at the RB position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigeru 65 Posted September 21, 2014 I have Marshall White Boldin Crabtree could drop VJackson for Blue too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robbykidd 3 Posted September 21, 2014 Blue any good should I drop Hyde Asiata or Robinson for him If you need help this week, I would consider dropping Hyde. He's a rookie though and they've got Ronnie Brown as well. Who knows how long before Foster comes back, doesn't sound serious though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigeru 65 Posted September 21, 2014 I've got Ivory and Moreno else wise I need help every week streaming a rb is an option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robbykidd 3 Posted September 21, 2014 I have Marshall White Boldin Crabtree could drop VJackson for Blue too I would have to be pretty desperate at RB to drop any of those guys for what could be a one week play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonewall 647 Posted September 21, 2014 Blue may have a great game if Foster is indeed out....but don't forget about Grimes. Could bleed him dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robbykidd 3 Posted September 21, 2014 Everyone forgetting about Grimes? grimes will likely be the backup with R Brown being the change of pace/3rd down back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickolas1 80 Posted September 21, 2014 You guys need to ditch the 8-10 team leagues. 12 should be BARE minimum for anyone posting on a FF forum, preferably 14, and here's what I posted in my 16 teamer: How are you on this fine morning? Look up, the sky is clear Blue.Blues Clues, where's the new starting RB?You're my boy, Blue!Feeling Blue?Blue book value going up.Blue through the defense but he was black and Blue.Out of the Blue...

murf74 461 Posted September 21, 2014 Because he is #3 May be 4 cause someone mentioned Ronnie Brown is sprinkled in with Blue today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatguylittlecoat 13 Posted September 21, 2014 It's usually a free agent find like Blue that takes you to the Championship, find room, add him. Worst case scenario is he goes back to the bench and you pick up another WR5. YOU"RE MY BOY BLUE ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted September 21, 2014 One more thing fellows- I believe the Gmen will play very inspired football today. Reports out of my is that they had a players only meeting and this game is too important to lose. This may not be as sexy as some are thinking. It is a giant home game.

stonewall 647 Posted September 21, 2014 Because he is #3 Listen, nobody knows exactly how this will shake out, and Blue is the logical add....but Houston does like Grimes. Per CBS: Texans running back Arian Foster was limited in practice all week with a hamstring injury and is viewed as a longshot to play today against the Giants, NFL Network reported this morning. In the event he is inactive, rookie running back Alfred Blue is expected to see a lot of work with tailback Jonathan Grimes pitching in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 21, 2014 This hammy issue might plague Foster all year given his injury history so this may be a good guy to grab. I'm agreeing with stonewall that I'd wait a week to see how this shakes out. It seems like a tasty matchup against the Giants but who knows what the split will be.

unloopme 4 Posted September 21, 2014 Thankfully I grabbed Blue earlier in the week, being a Foster owner. But now today it's either Blue or Maclin at flex for me. FML Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigeru 65 Posted September 21, 2014 I'm feeling Blue. I've picked up guys for bench then the first game they were great. I don't have any proof so I won't throw out any names. The Filthy Fernandez liquor is clouding my memory too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,838 Posted September 21, 2014 I'd seriously doubt starting McFadden vs Patriots.............. Ya I can't see him doing well.....so Blue or Brown....may be a tossup....may go with Blue just because I'm already starting Gates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
