Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
For the record, Foster averaged 4.1 yards per carry, well below his career average of 4.7, while leading the league with a career-high 351 carries. Meanwhile, Foster is happy about the addition of his new lead blocker, FB Greg Jones, in free agency. “Man, I was extremely thankful for that,” Foster said. “He’s been a veteran in this league for a long time, blocking for (Jacksonville Jaguars running back) Maurice Jones-Drew. He’s just a big, physical specimen back there, and he’s gonna help us out. ...” From a Fantasy perspective, there has to be some concern about Foster wearing down. But that concern is not going to keep him from being a top-five draft pick this summer.
