Ben Tate

Is he a sneaky start vs the Ravens this weekend?

He actually could be with the injuries that defense has suffered.

If not this week I like him more as the season progresses. I heard on a radio show/ podcast that Arian Foster is on some torrid rate to carry over 400 times this season. I havent verified this yet though so take it with a grain of salt. I think they ease that burden as the season wears on.

LY Tate's home games was where I remember him producing the most, so I'm trying to be selective on when and where to start him. Tate has been held out of games recently, I think this game he could see more action

I wouldn't over think things right now. He probably won't get a ton of carries over the next few weeks. But as the season goes on, the Texans aren't going to want Foster to wear down and that means either more Tate or Forsett. Especially if they continue to win and lock up a specific playoff seed. 

I do think Tate gets more carries this week, why wouldn't he. It's evident that Balt can't stop the run and Hou can run the ball with the best of them. I fear that on Sunday Balt is going to get a triple dosage of Foster, Tate & Forsett until they prove they can stop the run.
