2017 Running Back Report

Foreman looking nice so far! Lamar is still the guy, but he better perform this year or Foreman can take that job.

He definitely didn't hurt his stock with this performance, but it's the preseason. He'll need to do a LOT more. He has yet to even leapfrog Blue :/

Already made more plays for the Texans than Miller has. Big backs don't typically move like him. Get on board people.

I drafted Foreman yesterday at 2.01 for the team in my signature. I only need to start one RB so I can afford to sit on him for the season but it looks like he may be fantasy relevant sooner than that if his play in pre-season is any indication.

He has yet to even leapfrog Blue :/

I get why people think this but it's also similar to saying:

Man, Joe Mixon has been disappointing and his value should be lower since Jeremy Hill is still being given carries.

Mike Glennon must be playing wonderfully because Trubisky played with the 3rd team offense this past weekend!

To me, these coaches are going to give these veterans and washups (Blue) every chance in the preseason....maybe to keep rookies heads from getting too big but if we, the public, see a solid performance (I don't care what string it's against, progress is progress and it sticks out)....how can they say otherwise?

Newsflash: Coaches don't say what they mean. For instance: When Doug Marrone gets asked about Blake Bortles. He says that he needs to do x better...but really he means he sucks complete bleep and his team is screwed.

Marrone: "What can I say? He's got a killer instinct (mumbles "coach killer"). He's making the progressions we'd like to see (mumbles "toward retirement"). He's really building some chemistry with the WRs (mumbles "he's no walter white").

I play in 3 leagues, and was able to get Foreman in 2 of them, so I'm happy!

Also had to take take SOMEONE at the dreaded 1.07 spot yesterday, and settled on Hunt. I hope he hits!

Took him at the 1.07 also. I think he has hit some. I was targeting Foreman at 2.03. Mike Williams was there and I took him. Foreman went at 2.04. So I have Fournette, Mixon and Hunt out of this top four.

Foreman was playing behind Ervin in preseason, nevermind Blue.

I didn't like Foreman at all based on his college tape. He looked like Jeremy Hill or Blount, even against the future gym teachers and accountants that are Big 12 defenders.

But last night, albeit in a very small sample size, he looked VERY good. I'm extremely intrigued to see how he progresses.

Going to be tough if Bill O'Brien continues to tell the defense he's going to run Foreman up the middle against an 8 man front.

This. Foreman's stat would have been a lot better except for the two short yardage plays where he was met 1 yard behind the LOS. Not his fault... just the D selling out to stop the run.

I nominated Foreman late in my dynasty auction startup. One guy had enough to snipe him with just one extra dollar from me. Ive tried everything, including fleecing myself, to trade for him. The other manager wont budge.

[jimmychoi]

I think I'm going to regret not taking Foreman. I had An early 2nd and Njoku was still there, so I grabbed him. DF went next pick. I've tried offers without success.

[James McGhee]

It was promising to see him get 40% of the carries on Thursday night. As stated earlier, his stats would have been more pleasing to the eye if they hadn't telegraphed run up the middle on 3rd down a couple of times. But he looked fast and powerful, bouncing runs outside with ease pushing the pile for 5 yard gains where there was no hole. I think he's starting by 2018 season opener at the latest.
