    Texans running back Arian Foster is expected to play on Sunday against the visiting Miami Dolphins, though Houston wants to test him in pregame warm-ups first, sources told ESPN NFL Adam Schefter.

    ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
    Blog network: NFL Nation


    Coach Gary Kubiak said Friday it would be a game-time decision whether Foster would play after he injured his knee in practice Thursday

    i am starting to think i should start Tate...Foster doesn't sound healthy at all...they arent going to risk taking a chance on him week 1.

    foster is starting, but they are playing miami, look for tate to get alot of touches.

    You need to post who your replacements for each player would be and what type of league

    TT at RB starters are Forte and McFadden

    Ridley and Tate i am debating for the flex position. also have Brandon Pettigrew and Nate Washington i can play there too but its not a PPR league so figure RB is way to go

    shari, while i have you here got a question. BOL is hanging Serena total games 12.5 under -175 over +145 and than Azarenka at 7 -110 on both sides.

    you like the Serena under or you do u think there is any chance Azarenka can force a tie break or even take a set?????

    The position where you can start either a RB/WR or in some leagues, even TE.

    Will look like this:

    With the weather apparently good today I think Aza will have a tough time taking a set. She's probably the best returner on the Tour so she *should* be able to handle some of Serena's serves. Problem is her own serve isn't consistent at all so Serena will pummel those. Serena also has a great net game that Maria didn't and that one still went to 3. The only thing that would hold me back is that Serena hasn't had a great record here lately. Not sure why that is but it makes me a bit afraid to touch handis or totals. IF she plays exactly how she has been playing, this should be over in straights maybe 6-4 6-3. She's the only woman I don't worry about her brain and she'll have no problem breaking Aza. If I were going to take either of those 2 it would be Serena under 12.5 for small. If this goes to 3 sets, fair enough. But I truly can't see this going to a tiebreak and I'd be really surprised if this went to 3.

    Arian Foster - RB - Texans


    ESPN's Chris Mortensen suggested on Sunday Countdown that Arian Foster's sore knee could limit his usage against the Dolphins.

    "He'll start," Mort confirmed of Foster. "I think it will cut down on some of his carries, though." It's fair to wonder if the Texans might give Foster more rest than usual by mixing in more of Ben Tate, or if they grab a big early lead against a Dolphins team that will struggle to score points. We'd start Foster in fantasy leagues, but Tate is on the flex/RB2 radar as well.
    Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seahawks

    ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday Countdown that Marshawn Lynch (back) will play in Sunday's 4:25ET game against the Cardinals, "but (will) probably not get the full workload."

    Schefter indicated that Robert Turbin will be mixed into the backfield a bit more than the Seahawks initially would have preferred. Lynch remains the better fantasy bet, and we feel pretty confident about him because he was able to practice on Thursday and Friday. He's definitely worth starting as an RB2.
    Not sure I would start these guys, if they are going to be limited.

    Go Ridley. He is the starter, and you know he will be in there. Vereen is inactive.

    Shane Vereen - RB - Patriots


    Patriots declared RB Shane Vereen, CB Alfonzo Dennard, OL Nick McDonald, DT Marcus Forston, TE Daniel Fells, DE Justin Francis, and DE Jake Bequette inactive for Week 1 against the Titans.

    Vereen is out with a left foot injury he suffered on August 24. There are still no details on the injury. There are also no surprise inactives on this list.

    30mins left... what do I do onlooker? Take out Foster and Lynch and stick in the other two? Or maybe leave in Lynch and ditch Foster for Tate? He sounds worse off, no?

    You may just have to roll the dice shari, and go with your high draft picks here. I don't like BGE against the Ravens Defense tomorrow.

    Ok that's what I'll do. Normally I wouldn't have been awake at this time of night anyway so I wouldn't have seen these latest updates. End result would've been the same.

    I'll cross my fingers they're just playing possum to psych out the other teams. GL today and thank you!
