Arian Foster found himself a new home, but is he worth anything to fantasy owners?
According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Foster is headed to Miami for a one-year deal.
The #Dolphins deal for Arian Foster is 1-year, per @MikeMcCartney7. Miami had been trying to add a veteran presence & more competition at RB

The team was content with what they saw in Foster and after luring him away on his second visit from the Lions, who were also scheduled to meet with him, they have faith he’ll be able to produce.
Foster will have competition with second year running back Jay Ajayi and rookie Kenyan Drake during training camp, so if he can stay healthy, it’s possible he can play behind Ajayi. For fantasy owners expecting him to put up similar numbers in his 2014 season (1,246 yards with eight touchdowns), they might want to lower their expectations. He’s not a must pick up player right away, but keep an eye out for him in the later rounds once you have who you want on your team and nobody else decent enough as him is available.
