The Miami Dolphins have agreed to a one-year deal with running back Arian Foster, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The four-time Pro Bowler was cut by the Houston Texans after a series of injuries. This news comes a day after reports surfaced of him working out for the Dolphins and Lions. Foster has topped 1,000 yards four times in his career, and has racked up 68 total touchdowns in seven years.
This is a great move by the Dolphins, who lacked talent at the position after Lamar Miller left in free agency. In fact, as pointed out by ESPN’s Field Yates, Foster will be replacing Miller in Miami, and vice versa in Houston. If he can stay healthy, this is a steal for the Dolphins.
From a fantasy football standpoint, this makes Foster a great late-round target. Second-year running back Jay Ajayi may start come Week 1, but he’s still unproven as a starter. If he flops, Foster will become a must-add.
