I have Arian Foster and am afraid to start him in case he is pulled during the game due to the Texans winning big or losing big. Does anyone have advice on if I should play him or not? I have Bryce Brown and Demarco Murray as my other options. Thanks

You don't sit Arian Foster, especially in the fantasy playoffs.

Sit him.

As a general fantasy rule, if the player is healthy, play your first round draft pick in the playoffs.

I'd be willing to bet that if they are winning big, it is a direct result of Arian Foster blowing up. Which means he already would have doubled the points of Murray.


So your thinking is that, now that you are in the playoffs, is to bench the guy that got you there? The guy who was the backbone of your team?

I understand he is the best running back to have, but last year I played him in the playoffs and got screwed because they pulled him early.

If you truly understand this and the rules of fantasy football, why would you come start this dumb thread?

Play Arian Foster? Lord baby Jesus. It is hard for me to believe that this was actually a thought in someone's mind.

I don't blame you for asking. I used to pose questions like this too but eventually I learned that YOU ALWAYS START YOUR STARTERS(1st rounders).

Unless they're injured you never deviate from this.

Noone here has a crystal ball that can tell you if the Texans will sit him early.

FF is basically gambling. No one can control what the players are going to do on the field on Sunday, but you just take a best guess based on the research and info you have gathered. Based on my info, the two people that would be on the TOP of the START EM list this week would be Foster and AP.

Considering they just got embarrassed I'm guessing he'll play a lot
