Arian Foster Starting, Immediately Becomes An RB1?

The time has finally arrived. Later today, Arian Foster is fully expected to make his 2015 debut for the Houston Texans and fantasy football owners. Those who drafted Foster, and have been patiently waiting, can now finally plug him into their Week 4 lineups.

It's possible that Foster's work can be limited today, as the Texans wouldn't want to risk any further injury to their star running back. But we've seen in the past - Foster can also return from injury and immediately become a work-horse for his team, racking up lots of touches and fantasy points.

He always has RB1 upside whenever he's in the game, and all fantasy owners need to be starting him in Week 4. Expect a productive day at the office from Foster, with the upside for a huge fantasy game going up against a Falcons defense that has been generous to opposing running backs so far this season.

For the season, the Falcons have given up the most fantasy points to running backs - including a combined 12 catches, 127 rushing yards, 118 receiving yards, and four touchdowns last week alone to Dallas running backs. Would you really be that surprised to see Foster throw down two or three touchdowns today?
