I fully admit I am one of the idiots who drafted Foster at #4 in my draft. I have been on the trade block all day trying to dump anyone on my bench for a top 15 back. I have Fred Jackson too, but it’s a steep drop off to Pierre Thomas next at RB. I suck at FF.

That’s a great problem to have. Work Tate till Foster is 100%, then half way thru the season you have a great back with fresh legs starting the last half of the season.

Why is anyone surprised that Foster will be out again for a couple weeks due to his hamstring? I knew he’d reinjure his hamstring from playing this past weekend. I stayed as far away as possible from drafting him in any of my leagues and grabbed Tate in as many as possible, if for no other reason but as trade bait. Houston should have kept him on the bench until at least October and let Tate carry the workload until then.

I had Foster on two of my teams, but I had Tate on those two teams and one other one, and he’s paying off like gangbusters. I picked up Foster in the second round for both teams; he had dropped from the first due to the injury fears.

Some guy in my league dropped Foster after Week 1. At the time I thought he was crazy. Now I think he must be Biff from Back To The Future 2.

if you use your first round pick KNOWING Foster isnt 100% healthy going into the season, you have only yourself to blame as far as fantasy goes.

Hey fantasy players, remember last year? when ben tate was the “rookie to draft” and then he broke his ankle & missed the season. yeah this is why he was so hyped up!!

Isn’t it ironic that Tate was slated to be the starting RB until he got injured and Foster played his way into the job last year and now the roles are reversed.

I Loooove my wife!!!! She is an athletic trainer and told me in preseason NOT to draft Arian Foster when he had hamstrang problems. She said without complete rest for 4 – 5 weeks, he will never be 100% thru the season, so I grabbed Ben Tate in all three of my leagues in round 7 or later!!!! and started him each week! Gidyup!!! I may take her out to eat on my winnings!!!

Are you sure your wife wasn’t giving Foster some extra rehab and that’s why he re-injured his hamstring?

Tell her to take it easy on him, she’s a married woman.

What’s with the one-year wonder talk? He’s hurt. Kubiak needs to keep him inactive for two or three weeks and then bring him back at full strength. By the end of season, I think we’ll see Foster getting 60-70 percent of the carries and Tate the remainder.

Calm down. Well, I guess it’s tough to calm down when your life revolves around your fantasy football team. Losers. Tell your mom to get you a glass of water and read you a story. Then go to bed.

no Vonta Leach plus hammy injury= no chance I was taking Foster, but I took Ben in all my leagues

Everyone complaining on this thread obviously didn’t draft Jamaal Charles. Henceforth, everyone should stop and realize how bad some other fantasy owners have it.

I feel sorry for every moron who wasted a pick on Arian Foster. He is a one hit wonder his career can only go downhill from here. Ben Tate is this years new lead back!

Steve Slaton all over again? Slaton blew a disk, Foster just has a dinged hammy. He’s definitely a smoother and shiftier back than Tate… He’ll be back this year in time to win the playoff games for you fantasy geeks.

Hahaha everyone laughed at me when I put foster on my do not draft list! He who laughs last, laughs the loudest!

what a diference a year makes.

I am very pleased as a fantasy owner. I thought tate was going to be dead weight on my team this year.

Lol once Kubiak gets the Oline down he could turns a 1 legged man into a RB.

I LOL’ed at every idiot that took Foster over Brady, Rodgers, or Brees this year.

this is why you also draft ben tate, and i bet you it’s going to pay off more nicely than anyone expects
