The total on Foster’s rushing yards for Monday night’s tilt in Pittsburgh is posted at 97.5 on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board.
The numbers on each side suggest taking the OVER. Foster is the Texans’ best player, so he should get the ball even if they fall behind – as they did against the Colts last week.
Pitt’s got a nice back of its own in Le’Veon Bell. The Linemakers on Sporting News’ Kenny White envisions Foster and Bell each going over 100 yards against middling defenses, adding, “I think Foster has the bigger game.”
The Fantasy Source staff ranked Foster as its No. 4 running back this week, so they are optimistic about his prospects for Monday night, as well.
