The only running back-wide receiver tandem selected in the first round of most fantasy football drafts this season belonged to the Houston Texans, and for the first three weeks of the season, while wide receiver Andre Johnson did his job, running back Arian Foster didn't as he dealt with a lingering hamstring problem.

On Sunday the situation was reversed, which is unfortunate, because it sure would be nice if both players thrived at the same time. Foster finally came through, gouging the Pittsburgh Steelers for 155 rushing yards and offering hope that he can again carry fantasy teams, but Johnson left early because of a hamstring injury, and his status for Week 5 is in doubt. Ah, just another week of highs and lows in 2011 fantasy football.


To see Eric Karabell's thoughts on Arian Foster, Beanie Wells, Ryan Torain and others, you must be an ESPN Insider.
