Blue suffered a calf injury in Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is questionable to return.

EDGE Analysis

Blue was ineffective before suffering the injury, carrying four times for two yards on the day. More word will be known regarding the details of Blue's injury as the day goes on.

Blue (ribs) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Blue's Week 10 fantasy upside hinges on the status of fellow RB Lamar Miller (shoulder), who has practiced in a limited fashion this week. We'd expected Miller to be a go this weekend, but if he is limited at all Sunday against the Jaguars, or suffers a setback, Blue would be next in line for the Texans' carries.

Blue (ribs) was limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

As was fellow RB Lamar Miller, but at this stage both are expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Blue logged nine carries for 41 yards in this past weekend's win over the Lions.

Blue (ribs) gained 41 yards on nine carries in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Blue was supposed to be the healthier component of the Texans backfield heading into Week 8 with Lamar Miller nursing a shoulder injury, but he was the one who ended up exiting the contest for a time with a rib ailment. However, the backup tailback was able to eventually return and serve as an effective complement to Miller's game efforts on the afternoon. Although Miller will continue to dominate the largest share of the workload-- thereby capping Blue's fantasy upside-- the third-year pro's experience and talent make him one of the more effective backup running back options in the league.

EDGE Analysis

With Blue now banged up, the Texans' top back, Lamar Miller, continues to tough things out Sunday through a shoulder issue.

Blue appears to be the backup running back after John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported starter Lamar Miller (shoulder) will be active Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Blue filled in well for Miller in Week 7's loss to Denver and could get a greater-than-normal amount of carries while Miller deals with the shoulder against the Lions on Sunday.

Blue may get a bigger workload Sunday if starter Lamar Miller (shoulder) is limited against the Lions, CBS Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blue had his most carries of the season in Monday's loss to Denver, lugging the ball 11 times after Miller sustained a shoulder injury. Miller has been a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, but head coach Bill O'Brien was encouraged by his activity. Blue is a bigger back than Miller and could be a between-the-tackles option if the Texans don't want to expose Miller to big shots on the shoulder.

Blue had a season-high 63 rushing yards on 11 carries in the Texans' 27-9 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

Lamar Miller suffered a shoulder and was in and out of the lineup throughout the game, leading to Blue's enhanced playing time. The backup running back ran well, but also coughed up the ball when the Texans, down by a score mid-way though the third quarter, were engineering a drive. That's was the turning point in the game. We'll be following the status of Miller's shoulder in the coming days as that will dictate Blue's value heading into a Week 8 home game against the Lions.

Blue rushed for 13 yards on two carries in Sunday's win over Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Blue has been far more efficient in limited looks, averaging 5.2 yards per carry thus far this season - 1.7 yards greater than his career average. The downside, of course, has been that he hasn't surrendered the starting role to just any back. Lamar Miller's three-down ability has him ranking second in the league in carries, with 25 or more touches in four of six games. With few opportunities left behind, Blue has yet to top six touches in a game this season.

Blue had six carries for 39 yards in Houston's 31-13 loss to Minnesota in Week 5.

EDGE Analysis

Those 6.5 yards per carry look good, but are somewhat tempered by the fact that all of his carries came on Houston's final drive when the Vikings had called off the dogs. Blue is still the number two back, but is clearly well behind Lamar Miller in terms of usage and opportunities.
