The Facts:
Despite undrafted rookie Dennis Johnson showing life (13 carries, 74 yards) and Tate still dealing with four cracked ribs, HC Gary Kubiak said the Texans will continue to initially rely on Tate against the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ben Tate rushed seven times for just one yard Sunday during the Texans’ 13-6 home loss to Jacksonville. “There were a couple of times where there really wasn’t any room for (Tate). I don’t know if he ever got in a rhythm with what he’s doing,” Kubiak said Monday. “We know what he’s battling through. He’s not practicing during the week; he’s just playing on Sundays. So I know that’s tough from that standpoint. But we definitely appreciate with some of the things going on. The young guy, D.J., was running so well. He did some good things, so we gave him some more opportunities. I think Ben will bounce back. ..." He might or might not. But he'll certainly get the opportunity.
