Time will tell here...Surprising that Foreman was released. I wonder if it's health issues?

I wondered if there was a trade in the works? HOU website still has Foreman as #2, so I think its a complete guess as who is #2 now and who will be #2 for week 1, 4, 8, etc

I just got Ferguson off of all my waivers, so my answer would be whoever is cheapest guy to get. Buzz is maybe Texans go get Melvin Gordon now? I don’t buy it with Chargers a serious playoff team but it would make Texans instant contenders.

Crockett I think based on my reading a month or so ago regarding Higdon vs Crockett. If I recall Crockett correctly, he has better size/speed and skillet. Higdon is smaller and not as athletic. But I'm recalling from memory. I just grabbed Crockett free on waivers but trying to find someone to cut to grab Higdon.

Me too, I just picked up Higdon looking for someone to drop to pick up Crockett too, any suggestions? Should I just drop my defense for now? Team 1 in Sig

Maybe. I'm thinking I'll drop my K for now. Really like Gould (as far as kickers go) but Houston RB has some big upside. Maybe I'll drop Dexter Williams instead. Idk.

I dropped my defense, on your team I’d suggest dropping Brian Hill or the Pats Def

One tell - if Miller stays the starting RB, next highest value RB on the roster would be the COP back. Which ones fit 3rd down passing back duties best?

If the Texans go the trade route Duke Johnson would make more sense than Gordon.

Can I bet none of the above? Either sign an FA like ajayi, trade for a guy like Duke, or trade for MG3 and bump Lamar back

An interesting early (over the top?) take -

"If you’re Higdon or Crockett, you’re waking up this morning with an Arian Foster-like opportunity from 2009-2010. Both have had moments so far in camp."

.That'd be my bet then, I highly doubt they go into the year with this
I'd wanna say ajayi but I don't know id that's just bc I have a bunch of shares
