Scouting report

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Washington Redskins

In the win over the Broncos two Sundays ago, Alfred Blue led the Texans with 15 rushes for 39 yards, averaging just 2.6 YPC, however. He had more carries than Lamar Miller (12) but the ground game was ineffective for both players. Blue will likely return to the backup role at Washington on Sunday, meaning he should stay on your bench, especially facing a solid Redskins run defense.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Denver Broncos

Last Thursday featured another solid outing for the Texans ground attack in the home win over the Dolphins. The team ran for 188 yards, with Lamar Miller leading the way with 133 on 18 rushes. Alfred Blue chipped in with 15 carries but for only 42 yards. It was the second highest attempts he’d seen this season; however, he’s yet to eclipse 50 yards on the ground in a game. While the Broncos allow over 130 rushing yards per game, Blue should not be a part of your fantasy starting lineup.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Miami Dolphins
With Lamar Miller running for 100 yards last week against the Jaguars, Alfred Blue received just eight carries for 28 yards. After missing the game a couple weeks ago, Miller is healthy and will continue to be the featured back. Blue should only be on your roster as a handcuff.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Lamar Miller was back for Houston last week in the come-from-behind win versus the Bills, which meant Alfred Blue was relegated to backup duty. Blue finished with seven rushes for 26 yards and two grabs for 17 yards, but no one on the Texans offense had a good day, as the team finished with less than 200 total yards. While the Jaguars possess just the No. 22 run defense, there have to be better options for your starting RB.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Buffalo Bills
With Lamar Miller only available for emergency purposes due to a chest injury last Sunday night versus the Cowboys, Alfred Blue received the start and finished with 119 total yards. He rushed 20 times but for just 46 yards against a solid Dallas defense and caught eight passes for 73 yards. Lamar Miller is expected back this week, which relegates Blue to a backup role; however, Miller’s ineffectiveness lately likely means more playing time for Blue, especially in the pass game. He does not warrant a fantasy start though.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Dallas Cowboys

For reasons unknown, Lamar Miller did not receive a rushing attempt after the third quarter in the overtime win at Indianapolis last week, with HC Bill O’Brien eventually saying the RB was “a little banged up.” With Miller out of the game, Alfred Blue finished with a season-high 13 carries for 31 yards and may see more playing time moving forward. Blue will likely be the backup versus the Cowboys on Sunday night, but the more effective ball-carrier will receive the playing time.

HOU RB Alfred Blue - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Indianapolis Colts

Houston ran the ball just 19 times against the Giants last Sunday, with Lamar Miller finishing with 10 rushing attempts, QB Deshaun Watson had five and Alfred Blue had four. The trio combined for only 59 yards on the ground in the loss. Blue remains the backup to Miller and should not be started in any fantasy format this week.
