Blue rushed nine times for 42 yards, and added seven yards on one reception in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
The Texans were forced to abandon the run after falling behind 27-6 in the first half, thus leading to a reduced workload for Blue. Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk combined for 50 yards on 11 carries, so it looks like Blue will receive roughly half of the team's touches at running back in Arian Foster's absence. Foster isn't expected back anytime soon, so owners can continue to ride Blue for the foreseeable future.
Blue got the start, but was ultimately a rotational back with Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk both mixing in for their own sporadic series. Grimes finished with seven touches, and Polk chipped in six. In the absence of Arian Foster (groin), Houston is utilizing a three-headed RBBC. The Texans play the Panthers next. There is some belief Foster could return for that game.
