He doesn't care about your fantasy team, and he's not going to do you the favor of staying off the injury report, but that shouldn't preclude you from taking Arian Foster in fake football this year. A change in coaches means a change in offensive scheme, and while that change may be scary for those looking at Foster, realize that your same "fears" are incorporated into his ADP already. Because there's no universe in which a player with Foster's track record (which includes multiple 300 carry seasons to go with some strong receiving numbers according to our data) would go at the end of the second round (according to Fantasy Football Calculator ADP) without already considering his injury history and scheme concerns. Like Lynch, there's a bit of a gamble in taking Foster, but it could pay off in a big way.
