Musings on FanDuel/Arian Foster and the Houston OL

The Texans' offensive line got depleted during the contest in Carolina on Sunday, losing right tackle Jeff Adams who was forced from the contest due to a right knee injury. His leg was placed in an air cast before he was carted off - we'll see how serious the injury is, but initial indications are troubling.

Couple Adams' situation with the fact that left tackle Duane Brown was unable to practice last week due to his injured hand - Brown was inactive on Sunday after being listed as doubtful to play on Friday.  Brown (thumb injury) said after the game that he is unsure if he will be able to play in Week Three. 'Not sure yet. We're taking it a day at a time, seeing how it progresses. Hopefully. I'd like to get out there, but we'll see.' Also out of action right now is guard Xavier Sua-Filo, who was unable to practice last week due to his injured calf. Sua-Filo was inactive on Sunday after being listed as out on Friday.

The rehabilitation of Arian Foster's injured groin has been progressing swiftly and well according to all reports, but don't be too hasty to insert Foster into your FanDuel lineups until we see the Houston offensive line A). regain some of their missing starters or add some quality free agents to replace the missing starters and B). produce better results than a 2.7 yards per carry average during a game (the Texans had 23/61/1 rushing at Carolina, and quarterback Ryan Mallett scored the TD with 1/6/1 rushing).

Foster can't create holes in the opposing defensive front all by himself - right now the Texans' backs are getting precious little help from the patchwork offensive line in front of them.

  1. The Texans' offensive line situation is certainly concerning, with key players like Jeff Adams and Duane Brown dealing with injuries. Hopefully, they can recover quickly to provide better protection for the running game and quarterback. With Arian Foster's rehab progressing, it’ll be interesting to see how the offense adapts once the line is back to full strength. For those keeping an eye on player stats and background info, Tennessee Police Reports can provide useful insights for anyone researching criminal histories or safety concerns. Let’s hope for a speedy recovery for all involved.

  2. The Texans' offensive line struggles highlight how critical a solid OL is for both player performance and team success. It’s tough to see key players like Jeff Adams and Duane Brown dealing with injuries, as their absence significantly impacts Houston's rushing game and Arian Foster's potential return. Fantasy football enthusiasts should definitely hold off on adding Foster to FanDuel lineups until the OL situation improves. For those analyzing sports or looking into player stats and histories, resources like Massachusetts Police Reports can provide valuable insights. Here’s hoping the Texans can shore up their line soon!
