Arian Foster
Houston Texans
2012 Pros and Cons
(+) Clear-cut best RB in fantasy
(+) Foster isn’t just a big back (6’1”, 229 lbs), but also has the skills to make him one of the few every-down RBs in the league
(+) Averaged nearly 100 yards rushing, four catches, 50 yards receiving and almost a TD per game (in 13 games)
(+) One of only a select few RBs that can catch 60+ passes a season while averaging 10 yards per catch
(+) Had 100+ yards rushing in 9 of 15 games last season (including playoffs)
(+) Had 100+ yards receiving in three games last season
(+) Finished the season on a hot streak with 552 yards, five TDs and four 100-yard games in his final four games (two reg. season/two playoffs). Lots of big plays!
(+) Had over 120 total yards in 11 of his 15 total games
(+) Scored at least one TD in 11 of his 15 total games
(–) Seems to be a bit injury-prone while running in a decidedly injury-prone offense
(–) Has only two seasons of work on his resume
(–) Is this guy to good to be true?
Pros and Cons for 2011
(+) In 2010, Foster led the league in rushing yards, total yards and touchdowns
(+) Led the entire NFL (including quarterbacks) in fantasy points
(+) Had eight 100-yard games and seven multiple-TD games in 2010
(+) Foster isn’t just a big back (6’1”, 227 lbs) built for first- and second-down duty, he also has the receiving skills to make him one of the few every-down RBs in the league
(+) Went from an undrafted cast-off to a bona-fide fantasy RB1 in just one year
(+) Kubiak didn’t get canned by the Texans, so the offensive system will stay the same for at least one more year
(+) Steve Slaton hasn’t left the doghouse in two years while Ben Tate is coming off season-ending ankle surgery
(+) Overcame the stigma of having “fumble-itis” and only turned the ball over twice last season in 392 touches
(–) After having one of the most unlikely seasons in recent past, Arian will have a bull’s-eye on his back throughout 2011
(–) Despite his obvious high-end skills, Foster likely hit his ceiling in 2010, so don’t expect the same type of production two years in a row
Handcuff
It’s a bit of a tough call as to who will emerge as the primary backup in Houston this year, but we're betting on Ben Tate winning the job over Derrick Ward.

Injury Report
Foster revealed that he played the entire 2010 season with a torn meniscus in his knee, yet kept the injury hidden from the team.
The Positive: He had no trouble at all throughout the season despite the injury.
The Negative: Well, he DID have a torn meniscus.
The Conclusion: No worries. He had surgery on it in February and should be fine heading into 2011
