D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN:  24% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Houston Texas running back D'Onta Foreman will return from the PUP list with the next week or so , although it remains unclear how effectively he can perform when he does return. That is a consequence of the uncertainty that surrounds his recovery from the Achilles injury that occurred last November.

However, that does not alter the fact that Lamar Miller has been unimpressive (73 carries/271 yards/3.48 YPC), nor does it raise the ceiling that perpetually exists with Alfred Blue (56 carries/188 yards/4.0 YPC). Foreman should immediately become a candidate for short-yardage situations, including the coveted goal line opportunities, and the potential exists for him to procure a more substantial role. It is conceivable that this situation could also evolve into an unwanted time share that would deliver largely production inhibiting results. But there is nothing in the collective performances of Miller and Blue that should prohibit Foreman from having an opportunity to seize a significant role upon his return.
