Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With Tate suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Saturday night’s 19-16 preseason loss at Arizona, more pressure falls on running backs Arian Foster, Steve Slaton, Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson. Postives? Foster picked up where he left off last season when he rushed for 216 yards and three touchdowns in the last two games against Miami and New England, both victories. Foster carried four times for 31 yards against the Cardinals Saturday night. The bad news? Slaton, who got most of his 10 carries between the tackles, produced only 22 rushing yards and caught one pass for 21 yards. He committed the red-zone turnover, losing a fumble into the end zone. Last season, he lost five of seven fumbles. That has to change.
