Top 12 Waiver Adds for Week 4
Alfred Blue, RB, Houston Texans
We've mentioned many times on this site that Arian Foster's workload is simply not sustainable for someone of his injury history. He finally broke down this week, and Alfred Blue took over to the tune of 88 total yards, a total that was actually much better than it suggests given only 13 carries.
The Texans have shown that their line and their scheme can bring previously unheralded backs to the forefront of fantasy relevance - Blue in Week 3 was more rule than exception. He's a solid pickup even if Foster can get back sooner than you'd like - both in the form of a solid handcuff, and as a speculation play that maybe, just maybe, the Texans will be smarter with their bell cow.
