Arian Fosters's ADP in NFFC drafts last night was 9.8. Today he comes off PUP list and he goes 2nd, 4th, 5th and 11th in NFFC drafts. Crazy.

We're going to be talking a lot about Arian Foster tonight on the STATS Fantasy Advantage so if you have some strong thoughts about Foster post them here and we may grab some to discuss on the air tonight.

I don't know what time your show runs, but how much does Foster's health move Schaub up? In 2009, he led the NFL in passing yards. The following year, he was 4th. His knock has been lack of TDs - not a surprise, given Foster's rushing TD production. But if Foster misses significant time this year, might Schaub approach 4500+ yards and 30+ TDs now that he has a new toy in Hopkins? If so, that would put him up in fantasy starter territory. Hmmm...

Thanks Tom. I don't have Sirius though. I was just providing some Foster-related storyline.

Arian Fosters's ADP in NFFC drafts last night was 9.8. Today he comes off PUP list and he goes 2nd, 4th, 5th and 11th in NFFC drafts. Crazy.

In the 10 pm online leagues last night, Foster went 5th, 6th and 9th. So his ADP last night 6.0, up almost four spots per league from the night before.

Here's today's take by CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora:

"Arian Foster had his first real practice of the offseason Friday and the general consensus was he looked good. Privately, the Texans are pleased with where he is now after some concern in the past. The reality is, however, that the team was only rushing around 4 yards per carry last year, Foster has been dinged up quite a bit in recent years and given all of the time he has missed, I'm not sure he dives in on Week 1. I could still see a fair amount of Ben Tate early on, and it's hard not to look at the abuse Foster has taken over the years playing as hard as he does. Regardless of who is handling the ball, there has been a heavy focus on getting back to being an elite ground team. "We didn't run at the clip we wanted last year," Daniels said. "We want that yards-per-carry to be around 4.5. We expect it there."
