Blue had 14 carries for 42 yards and caught one pass for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Titans. The 15 touches was a season high for the rookie, who got a little more playing time than usual with the Texans rolling to a big lead over the Titans.

Blue had five carries for 14 yards and one reception for an 11-yard touchdown in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers. Blue merely worked as the backup to Arian Foster, who had to be spelled following a 33-yard run in the first quarter. Blue took advantage of the opportunity, catching an 11-yard touchdown pass on the next play. He has established himself as the clear top choice behind Foster, but the veteran is simply dominating the workload.

Blue (knee) had three carries for 22 yards in Thursday's 33-28 loss to the Colts. Blue showed nice burst on a 17-yard run, and he was one tackle away from perhaps breaking a long touchdown. Arian Foster has been one of the league's few three-down workhorses when healthy this season, leaving only scraps for Blue. However, the sixth-round rookie has established himself as the clear top backup in a run-heavy offense.

Blue (knee) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Colts, the Texans' official site reports. Arian Foster is also active for the contest, which sets the stage for Blue � who recorded five carries for 16 yards this past Sunday against the Cowboys � to once again work in a reserve role on Thursday.

Blue (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice. Blue was able to get back on the field Tuesday after sitting out the previous day. Both the nature and extent of his injury are uncertain, so it remains to be seen if he will be able to give it a go Thursday.

Blue did not participate in Monday's walk-through practice, CSN Houston reports. The Texans play Thursday night against Indianapolis. Both Blue and Arian Foster (hamstring) were non-participants Monday, but we'll know more after the team has actual practices Tuesday and Wednesday.

Blue had five carries for 16 yards Sunday against the Cowboys. With Arian Foster healthy after recovering from a hamstring injury, Blue took a significant backseat in Sunday's game. Foster ran 23 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns, leaving little room for Blue to make an impact. Head coach Bill O'Brien has said that the team wants to reduce Foster's workload to ensure he's healthy for the full season, which should allow Blue a few more touches, but that surely wasn't the case Sunday.

Blue had nine carries for nine rushing yards and two catches on three targets for 16 receiving yards Sunday against the Bills. Blue's dismal performance was joined by Arian Foster's, as the latter finished with six rushing yards on eight carries, though he added 55 receiving yards on seven catches (10 targets). Foster played after being a game-time decision due to a hamstring injury, and if he doesn't have any setbacks in practice next week, he should grab a bigger share of the workload, which will reduce Blue's fantasy value.

Blue could be in line for significant playing time in Week 4 against the Bills as Arian Foster (hamstring) will be a game-time decision, CSN Houston reports. Head coach Bill O'Brien made the call early on Foster, which suggests a likelihood that he'll be limited even if he does suit up. Fantasy owners of Foster may want to add Blue to the roster as insurance in the event Foster is inactive.

Blue, starting in place of the injured Arian Foster (hamstring), had 13 carries for 78 rushing yards and one catch on one target for 10 receiving yards Sunday against the Giants. While he got only 13 carries, Blue still greatly led the Texans' backfield Sunday, as Ronnie Brown gained two yards on three carries and Jonathan Grimes had one carry for five yards. Foster was close to playing in the game, so it's entirely possible that he returns for Week 4 against the Bills, which would push Blue into the backup role again.
