Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes' Updated Fantasy Outlook with Arian Foster Injured

Arian Foster owners had best hit the waiver wire on Sunday morning, as the star running back appears as though he'll be sidelined against the New York Giants.

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle added:

It appeared Foster's absence would make Alfred Blue an incredibly valuable addition. The backup carried the ball 11 times for 40 yards in Houston's Week 2 matchup against the Oakland Raiders.

And the Giants had been fairly friendly to the position thus far this season, allowing 17.5 points to opposing running backs per week in standard-scoring leagues, 21st in the NFL, according to ESPN.

Blue ended up being the main man in the running game, carrying the ball 13 times for 78 yards and added one catch for 10 yards, finishing with a solid if unspectacular 8.8 fantasy points in standard leagues.

Going forward, Blue is a very risky but potentially high-reward flex play or even an RB2 option depending on the matchup if Foster can't go. 

Jonathan Grimes, on the other hand, has little to no fantasy value at this point. He now has five carries for 16 yards on the season. He shouldn't be an impact player on fantasy
