D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman will be eligible to return from the PUP list after this week's matchup, in the next phase of his recovery from the Achilles injury that he suffered last November. It will be easier to secure him if you avoid the rush that will ensue when more  owners become aware of his impending reemergence.

During his absence, Lamar Miller has delivered the same uninspiring level of production that we have become accustomed to (3.9 YPC/0 rushing touchdowns), and was sidelined in Week 5 due to a chest injury. Alfred Blue can function as a serviceable replacement for Miller, but does not possess the capabilities of functioning as a highly productive feature back. It's difficult to ascertain how proficiently Foreman can perform immediately upon his return. But Houston's offense could desperately use an infusion of effectiveness from its ground game, and Foreman should eventually be placed in position to make that occur.
