Arian Foster limited to 54 yards in loss, fantasy value growing uncertain

Texans running back Arian Foster rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries in the team's 30-9 loss to the Ravens.

Foster ran the ball with efficiency in the game's early stages, but was quickly eliminated from the game plan after the Ravens returned an interception and a punt for touchdowns in less than two minutes. With the large deficit, Foster could not get into his usual rhythm as the Texans were forced to play catch-up.

Fantasy Spin: Being behind by multiple scores is never a good thing for running backs in fantasy, and that's what happened with Foster. Furthermore, the disparity in touches with him and Ben Tate inched as close to 50-50 as it has been all season, as Foster narrowly edged his backfield counterpart in touches, 13-12.

The disparity in the quality of the Texans run game is also not very big when comparisons between the two backs are made. That's a trend that doesn't favor Foster's future, and the dreaded timeshare could undermine Foster's value going forward. That may be a moot point in Week Four with the Seahawks coming to town, as there may not be much room for either back to run.
