Injuries happen, and RB is a particularly brutal position. But it's still worth noting that the Texans leaned on Foster for an an enormous number of carries over the past 3 years, far more than any other back in the league.
From 2010-12, Foster ran the ball 956 times in 45 games. Michael Turner and Ray Rice came closest with 857 and 855 carries in a full 48 games. Foster also recorded 159 receptions, so he was tackled 25 times each game over that three year span.
That's Walter Payton-level touch numbers in an NFL that is a lot bigger and faster than the league Payton played in. It may just not be a survivable pace.
And there are folks who like to complain about BB's penchant for RBBC.
Divide the pain and keep them all healthy all year long. just sux for the fantasy fans.
