Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 12

Joseph ZuckerNov 23, 2014

That week where Alfred Blue was a fantasy monster was fun. The Houston Texans running back struggled to recapture his Week 11 form in a 22-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.   

Blue's performance was disappointing after last week's 156-yard outburst.

The Bengals did a great job of stopping him at the line of scrimmage. Few could've seen this coming, because Cincinnati has been dreadful against the run this year:

Blue is worth keeping around as long as Arian Foster's status remains in doubt. At the very least, he can be a handcuff for Foster. When Foster doesn't play, Blue can be a good RB2 or flex option. Last week is evidence that he can go off for a huge day.

Jonathan Grimes also had a big game last week, but he was even worse on Sunday.

Unless both Foster and Blue go down, Grimes isn't a viable fantasy option except in extremely deep leagues. There's no way he'll be able to get enough touches to give you much from one week to the next.
