Steve Slaton Retains Starting Job: Fantasy Impact

Houston Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak has re-named Steve Slaton as the starting running back for Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Nick Scurfield, via Twitter.
Slaton was benched three weeks ago after fumbling for the third time in three games, and left the Texans victory over the Buffalo Bills with just three total touches for 11 yards.
Back-up Ryan Moats stepped in after Slaton's exit and proceeded to run for over 100 rushing yards and three touchdowns, prompting Kubiak to name Moats the starter for Week 10's match against the Indianapolis Colts .
Despite being listed as the back-up, Slaton still found his way to nine touches, but as only able to rack up 29 yards, while also scoring one touchdown on the ground.
Fantasy Perspective: This is a huge fuss about nothing, as we saw last week that being the starting running back in Houston doesn't exactly mean you get all the carries.
Houston basically just rides the hot hand, and Slaton is still a risky play, especially with a very tough matchup against a solid Tennessee Titans run defense.
