Since his monster 2010 season, Joe Juan went into great detail profiling Foster and showed that, while Foster has missed almost three games per season due to injury, that total is actually right in line with many of the other running backs going ahead of him in current mock drafts.
The gap between Foster’s current ADP (RB7) and our season-long projection set (RB2) is the largest among the top-10 running backs, and it’s not even particularly close.
The Texans are still searching for a reliable quarterback despite their offseason additions and the importance of getting Foster the ball early and often, assuming he stays healthy.
If Foster reaches the 350-plus touch total we currently have him pegged for, there’s an very good chance he massively outperforms his current draft position and could even finish at the top overall fantasy running back.
If he continues to fall to the end of round one, or even the top of round two, draft him and don’t even think twice.
