Foster (groin, questionable) may have a complementary role and make his season debut in Week 4 against the Falcons, according to a source not authorized to speak publicly, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The source said Foster may play if he's able to convince head coach Bill O'Brien he's ready to play. As it stands now, O'Brien is calling Foster a game-time decision for Sunday's 1:00pm game. Of note, the Texans will be shorthanded Sunday, after running back Jonathan Grimes (knee) was declared out.

At this point don't bring him back till he's ready. I can't think of any reason to start him even if he's a go this week.

I think this week is an exhibition game for AF, just feeling himself out, next week is the start for AF.

he should be your flex anyway unless you are in a very bad spot at RB. cant think of many other guys id rather start at flex... 50% of carries still means that he'll get 15-20 touches.

I can't see any reason why they would start him against a weak Atlanta run defense, after how Alfred Blue did last week, with a Thursday night game coming. But hey, I'm usually wrong about these things and praying to god he doesn't play because I'm playing the team that has him and I'm 0-3.

He plays today. They can't afford to go 1-3
