What say you? As no one in the world (even Arian Foster) seems to know what’s up with his hamstring, what would you do?

I just benched him. Subject to change if I hear good news.

He tweeted his MRI a week after I drafted him. Joy.

Hard to answer without knowing what your alternative is. He’s listed as a game time decision. I’d probably follow **Drain Bead’s** lead of benching him and keeping an eye on his status right up until kickoff.

THIS JUST IN: Arian Foster is officially out. If you’ve got him on your fantasy team, better make adjustments now.

Yeah, I have him in a non-SDMB league. And he was backed up by Daniel Thomas who is also out.
