Fantasy Impact:
Since Foster will be missing the first few weeks of the season, Alfred Blue is looking more appealing from a fantasy perspective. He is expected to see the bulk of goal-line carries, while the passing-down work will likely be split between Chris Polk and Jonathan Grimes. Considering Arian Foster is unlikely to stay healthy for the rest of the season after making his return, Blue is, at best, a valuable handcuff worth keeping on our fantasy radars.
