Fantasy Strategy for Using Arian Foster I currently believe that Foster is worth having on your fantasy roster. Even if you decide not to use him, it doesn't hurt to stash him away from anyone you may be playing in the playoffs this week or in the weeks to come. As far as using Foster this week, I would only suggest you start him as a flex option if you don't have runners that have been producing for you. In that situation, it wouldn't hurt to roll the dice on a running back that is playing against one of the worst run defenses in all of football. The Texans aren't a playoff team, but as we saw last week, they are good enough to roll it up on a very bad football team. 
This means that Foster should get plenty of work in the second half of this ball game NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings writer Sean E Douglas: fantasy-info .

Stocks(Reporting by Kim Yeon-hee; Editing by Keiron Henderson) Stocks. The Fulham skipper was on target yet again, as Fulham stunned the Premier League Champions at Craven Cottage on a chilly Saturday evening.Manchester United came into the game after a 3-0 win over a second string Wolves' side in midweek, appearing to have overcome last week's shocking defeat to Aston Villa at Old Trafford, but Roy Hodgson's men played United off the field.Sir Alex Ferguson chose a surprising 3-5-2 formation with Darren Fletcher, Micheal Carrick, and Ritchie Da Laet in defense, with Tomas Kuszczak in goal.Patrice Evra, United's captain for the game, started on the left of a five man midfield which also included Paul Scholes, Darren Gibson, Anderson, and Antonio Valencia.Wayne Rooney and Micheal Owen completed United's lineup.United's makeshift defense crumbled against an organized Fulham attack led by Bobby Zamora, who arguably showed us his best performance in a Fulham shirt.Manchester United's defensive injury woes are quite evident with the likes of Micheal Carrick and Darren Fletcher playing out of place.Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Rafael Da Silva, John O'Shea, Wes Brown, and Gary Neville were all unavailable for the game.Paul Scholes played out all 90 minutes of his worst nightmare.A fatal error made by the veteran midfielder created Fulham's opener in the first half. Scholes lost possession to Danny Murphy, who took a shot from 25 yards out and managed to beat United's Polish stopper.Murphy must have thought he got an early Christmas present when both Micheal Carrick and Ritchie Da Laet failed to block him out.Bobby Zamora,deservedly, scored Fulham's second goal, a half volley from inside the six-yard box.Zamora helped the Cottagers in completing the rout, as he created Damien Duff's stunning strike with some talented chest control.Final score, 3-0, Fulham over Manchester United. Who would have predicted thatYes, United certainly missed their regular defenders but even their attack failed to turn up.One could argue that the likes of Rooney and Owen didn't get the kind of supply you'd expect from United, because the midfield, Scholes in particular, had a game to forget.Wayne Rooney's cross-shot in the second half was the only time the Red Devils came close to threatening Mark Schwarzer's goal.Chelsea will be delighted to see United lose because a win against West Ham on Sunday will provide Carlo Ancelotti's men with a six point lead over the Red Devils.On the other hand, Liverpool continued their horrible run with a 2-0 defeat to rock-bottom Portsmouth at Fratton Park.The Reds went down with goals by Nadir Belhadj and Fredric Piquionne despite the return of star striker, Fernando Torres.To add insult to injury, Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano was sent off for a tackle on Tal Ben Haim.Aston Villa continued a good run of form with a 1-0 win over Stoke at Villa Park with John Carew getting on thescore-sheet.A brace from Peter Crouch sealed a 2-0 away win for the Spurs over Blackburn, while Arsenal overcame relegation-threatened Hull City, 3-0, with goals from Denilson, Eduardo, and Abou Diaby.Meanwhile, Manchester City and Sunderland pulled out a seven goal thriller.It was a sensational game which had everythingloads of goals, plenty of rash tackles, a red card, and a manager sacked at the end of it.Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez scored early in the first half and appeared to have knocked the stuffing out of the Black Cats, but Steve Bruce's men recovered with goals from John Mensah and Jordan Henderson.Manchester City's defense was pathetic.When Kenwyne Jones equalized, it appeared City were heading for yet another stalemate.Roque Santa Cruz's second goal brought much needed relief to City's supporters and probably stopped Hughes' from pulling his hair out.Micheal Turner was sent off for elbowing Gareth Barry late, but all was done and dusted.Bringing an end to speculation, City called a press conference to confirm they have sacked Mark Hughes!Well, those Arabs, all that money, and poor old Mark Hughesit was never meant to be, was it Maybe he should have stayed with Blackburn.He will be replaced by former Inter Milan manager, Roberto Mancini.City is currently ahead of Liverpool, in sixth position with 29 points from 17 games in the league table.Saturday in the Barclays Premier League was a comedy of errors, which started with Javier Mascherano's dramatics and ended with Geovanni's missed penalty, which never was..

The first semester of school is over at the University of Kansas.
That typically means an exodus of the nearly 30,000 members of the student body from Lawrence. For Brady Morningstar and freshman transfer Jeff Withey, the end of the semester signaled the beginning of eligibility. With Michigan coming to Lawrence the day after the semester ended, there was a decent opportunity for both to play. Not surprisingly, only Morningstar got minutes in today's 75-64 win over the Wolverines. It wasn't a shock to see Withey sitting on the bench for the game's entirety while Morningstar played 22 minutes. Morningstar knows the offense and defense like the back of his hand, while Withey will need some time to ease into the Jayhawks scheme. So, what does the eligibility of these two players mean for the Kansas Jayhawks going forward At best: The Jayhawks will add a senior guard (in Morningstar) who knows how to run the offense, who can also be an accurate shooter all over the floor, and also add another body to the already-deepest front court in the nation (in Withey).Kansas was already five-deep at the guard positions. Bill Self will be able to manage games with even more precision than he already can with his multiple back court choices.In Withey, it gives Self an option he really never had during his tenure at Kansas, a true five-spot guy that can back up the starting center, Cole Aldrich. Having another seven footer that can play well in the post, and stretch his game out to the 12-foot area, could potentially make Kansas unbeatable down the stretch. At worst: Withey takes an eternity to gel into his role as a legitimate backup at the five spot, and Self has to lean on Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson (both just 6'9") as deputy to both Marcus Morris and Cole Aldrich.The other scenario the Jayhawks will be hoping to avoid will be thepossibility of Morningstar disappearing on the court with Tyrell Reed and Tyshawn Taylor, giving Self productive minutes. Likely scenario: If the game against Michigan today is any indication, Morningstar will progress over the course of the next couple of months to the point where he's producing similar numbers to those he put up last year.I'm guessing he'll play around 25 minutes, flirt with double digits in scoring, and provide that additional senior leadership that will come in handy come tournament time.As far as Withey goes, I think he may struggle to play. However, the comparison of situations between Withey and Aldrich during each of their respective first years is really startling.
