Scouting report

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 – Alfred Blue vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Arian Foster returned to the lineup last week and received 19 rushing attempts in the win over the Titans. Alfred Blue had seven rushes for just six yards and will continue to be the No. 2 option behind Foster. Blue is worth hanging on to as a handcuff or possibly for the long-term in keeper leagues, but that is likely all his value is for now.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Alfred Blue vs. Tennessee Titans
With Arian Foster out again last week versus the Bengals, Alfred Blue got the start, but ran for only 46 yards on 16 carries. He also caught three passes for 20 yards, as the Texans could only muster up 248 yards of total offense. In Week 8, Houston ran for over 200 yards against the Titans, with Blue totaling 64. If Foster can’t play on Sunday, Blue makes for an RB2 start versus the worst defense at stopping the run; however if Foster is active, Alfred will see some action but likely not enough to warrant a fantasy start.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Alfred Blue vs. Cincinnati Bengals
With Arian Foster out last week due to a sore groin, Alfred Blue did his best Foster impression, busting through the Browns defense for 156 yards on 36 carries. While Blue wasn’t able to find the end zone, he definitely performed for those fortunate enough to claim him off the waiver wire. If Arian is out, look for Alfred to carry the load again with a great matchup against the No. 28 team at stopping the run.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Alfred Blue vs. Cleveland Browns
Filling in for the injured Arian Foster who left the game two weeks ago versus the Eagles, Alfred Blue finished with only 13 yards on seven carries. In his first nine games in the NFL, Alfred has 234 rushing yards and a receiving TD. It's very likely Foster will not play on Sunday, which bumps the rookie to a RB2/flex play against a Browns defense that has had problems stopping the run. Look for Blue to also be used as a receiver for new starting QB Ryan Mallett.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 – Alfred Blue vs. Philadelphia Eagles
With the Texans ahead 27-3 in the fourth quarter last week in Tennessee, Arian Foster was given the rest of the afternoon off, allowing Alfred Blue to receive some carries. Blue finished with 14 rushes for 42 yards and a 22-yard reception. While Houston doesn’t want to overuse Arian, he’ll receive the bulk of the playing time in close affairs. Blue has 221 rushing yards during his rookie season, but there’s no reason to start him as long as Foster is healthy.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 – Alfred Blue vs. Tennessee Titans
Arian Foster continues to receive the majority of the rushing attempts for Houston, but Alfred Blue scored on an 11 yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick last Monday in Pittsburgh. Alfred’s best run (seven yards) came on a fake punt, as he finished with just 14 yards on five rushes. Despite the TD last week, Blue should only be on your roster as a handcuff to Foster.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 – Alfred Blue vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
With Arian Foster rushing for over 100 yards on 20 carries last week versus the Colts, Alfred Blue backed him up with 22 yards on three rushes. He had a nice, 17 yard run in the fourth quarter, but just isn’t getting enough playing time now that Foster is healthy. Blue should only be on your roster as a handcuff or possibly in keeper leagues as a potential long-term RB.
