Texans Arian Foster should start against Pittsburgh. Ben Tate will be the backup. When Derrick Ward is healthy, he'll be 3rd and Chris Ogbonnaya 4th.

Gary Kubiak: Ben Tate has a sore ankle but is OK. Derrick Ward didn't travel with the team this weekend but is “pretty close to getting back on the field.”

Fantasy Impact:

Tate will have more value as Foster's backup, but neither back figures to get a full workload with the expected return of Arian Foster.

The Houston Chronicle - [Full Article]

Texans RB Derrick Ward, who was knocked out of action against the Colts, revealed Wednesday he has a high ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

High ankle sprains are notoriously difficult to heal, so Ward will be out a few more weeks at least. This is good news for Ben Tate, who will be the bell-cow RB in Houston as long as Arian Fostser and Ward are sidelined.

HOU's Tate will 'carry most of the load' at RB until Foster returns
Monday, September 19, 2011, 5:43pm

Houston Texans on Twitter - [Full Article]

Texans coach Gary Kubiak on RB Ben Tate: "He's playing really well...Ben's probably going to carry most of the load right now. He's coming along."

Fantasy Impact:

John McClain, Texans beat writer at the Houston Chronicle, didn't think that Derrick Ward would play in week 3, so Foster owners, who also have Tate, are in a nice situation for now. Houston plays at New Orleans in week 3.
