BALLER MOVE: Target ~150
CURRENT ADP: ~160
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman was on track to displace veteran running back Lamar Miller as the starting running back for the Houston Texans in the 2017 season. With some very impressive rushing performances, Foreman looked to be the team's running back of the future. However, an Achilles injury would end Foreman's season and put his NFL future in doubt. Achilles injuries are notoriously hard to recover from, and Foreman will start the year on the PUP list.
However, if he is able to return to the team and get some playing time by midseason, nothing about Miller's performances in recent years suggests that Foreman can't overtake him if he still has the same speed that he did before the injury. Therefore, as a potential starter down the road, a last-round fantasy selection on D'Onta Foreman is not the worst idea for fantasy owners looking for upside at the running back position late in drafts.
