Let’s face it; we became spoiled rotten when Arian Foster burst onto the scene in 2010. Despite his injuries, he was an amazing running back and was a gift from the football gods for most of his career. And even though Lamar Miller currently commands the starting role, the Texans will rely on young, athletic running backs to challenge opposing defenses.
With injuries to the WR core and Alfred Blue performing at the Mendoza Line of running back production (3 years, 1,646 yards, 3.6 YPC, 5 TDs) these two up-and-coming backs are ready to take on bigger roles this season.
