Texans running back Arian Foster is expected to return for the team's final eight games "at worst". Originally, the worst was feared with Foster's groin injury. Now, positive news continues to come out regarding his potential availability this season. It appears his timetable is that he's expected to miss anywhere from 4-8 weeks. He could be a candidate for I.R./designated to return. However, the team will likely wait until the final hours to decide if they want to put him on I.R. or not.
FANTASY ANALYSIS
If you asked any Foster owners a few days ago if they would take an eight games absence, they would jump at the offer.
