Josh Ferguson News
Houston Texans running back Josh Ferguson rushed for a touchdown in Thursday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. But Ferguson only had two carries, finishing with two yards and failing to bring in his only target. Ferguson entered Thursday as the favorite to be Houston's third-down back, but the acquisition of Duke Johnson now has Ferguson on the outside of the roster bubble. Thursday night's performance doesn't really help that.
Beyond Lamar Miller and D'Onta Foreman, the Houston Texans running back position is a bit of mystery. But Aaron Reiss of The Athletic predicts that former Indianapolis Colts running back Josh Ferguson seems to be in line to be the team's third back. Ferguson's role would exclusively be as a third-down back and he'd likely cede plenty of that work to Miller and Foreman as well, so Ferguson doesn't look like a player to keep an eye on right now for fantasy purposes. If Foreman isn't able to get back to his pre-Achilles injury levels, it's more likely someone else emerges as Miller's main backup while Ferguson sticks with the role he currently has. Maybe he has some value in very deep PPR leagues at some point.
The Indianapolis Colts waived running back Josh Ferguson and signed running back Tion Green on Wednesday. Any concerns fantasy owners might have had about Ferguson taking carries away from the lead back in Indianapolis can be safely swept aside, as it seems his increased snap count with the first-team offense in the team's second preseason game was more of an audition to determine if he would make the roster. Leading up to their drafts, fantasy owners should continue to monitor the status of presumed starter Marlon Mack's injury and whether Christine Michael is capable of winning the No. 1 job.
