he hasnt had 15 carries since week 7I don't have him but I would think he gets at least 15 carries tonight.
They haven't played the Colts.It's just my opinion, but I follow these two teams closely and there is a real chip on the texans' shoulders when it comes to Indy. They also know the Colts won last week and they (Texans) have a lot to play for here so I think the Texans come out in this game very serious and focused and will have them in a position where, by the end of the game, Foster has 20+ carries and Tate has a good number also.The other thing I will add is I se this game being one where the Texans defense turns the colts over a few times and adds to the opportunities.he hasnt had 15 carries since week 7I don't have him but I would think he gets at least 15 carries tonight.
No but theyve played Jax, Cle, TB, Jax, & Car all since week 7They haven't played the Colts.he hasnt had 15 carries since week 7I don't have him but I would think he gets at least 15 carries tonight.
Khalil BellI think I'm rolling with Tate tonight... my other options are Chris Johnson (gimpy)... Brandon Jacobs... McFadden... Royster... Kahlil Bell... Sammy Morris...Yeah yeah I know this ain't a WDIS thread I'm just giving a look into my decision to start Tate... I don't trust CJ to play much and my other starter will most likely be Brandon Jacobs since this is a non-ppr.I don't feel real good about the decision but I need guys with the highest ceilings against my opponent this week. I feel like I gotta swing for the fences and I'm hoping they blow out the colts and he gets 15 touches for 90-100 and a TD. If I get that I'd be happy....and lucky
Ben Tate was listed as limited with a hamstring injury for Monday's practice.The injury is a new one for Tate, though we suspect he will be fine for Thursday night's game. The Texans listed 11 players, including QB T.J. Yates (shoulder), as limited for Monday's walkthrough. Source: HoustonTexans.com sounds like tate is good to go, should get 15+ touchesAny updates? I see that he was limited in practice on Monday but nothing since then.

Not meaning to nitpick but all we can read from that is, "Rotoworld's opinion on Monday was that he will likely play". I definitely would not read "Tate is good to go" out of that.I agree with Rotoworld that he probably will play, but that's just speculation and nothing anyone should feel comfortable setting a lineup based on. Not until something new comes out about his situation.Ben Tate was listed as limited with a hamstring injury for Monday's practice.Any updates?

Tate's status at the moment makes him a risky boom/bust play. When I was championing Tate earlier in the season it was based on supposed seasonal outcomes and HOU resting Foster; I guess this is still a possibility but with the hammy I wonder if Tate is the one who gets the rest.'footballnerd said:Not liking Indy at home, they could stay in it and keep Foster on the field. Tate was a perfect hold for this time of the year when Schaub was playing and they could build a huge lead to get him carries, not so much with Yates.
I came very close to a last minute brain fart of switching out SJax for Tate, but in the end decided against it. Whew, what a god-awful game all around.He had a cake matchup last week, which led to me over-thinking it and starting him over Mendy. It ended up not mattering (thanks Roddy White) but I won't make that mistake again.
