Arian Foster’s backup is coming off a disappointing 2012 season. Nagging hamstring and foot injuries forced Tate to miss five games and hindered him in several others. Listed at 5-foot-11, 220 pounds, Tate is a powerful downhill runner with good speed and solid receiving skills. Foster is coming off a 351-carry season, which is why the Texans would like to lighten his rushing load by using Tate more frequently. During his career-best 2011 season, Tate averaged 12.5 total touches per game on his way to rolling up 942 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 175 carries (5.4 yards per carry) along with 13 grabs for 98 yards. Tate, who is entering a contract year, is a must-acquire handcuff for Foster owners. Tate is also one Foster long-term injury away from becoming a top-10 fantasy running back.
