A New Star is Found in Houston
Slaton didn't get much respect from NFL being drafted in the mid rounds at the 2008 NFL draft. His major knock was that people thought he was just not big enough to be a feature back at least right away. Boy were they wrong about that. Slaton proved repeatedly last year he was for real. During week 1 Ahman Green went down with an injury and the job belonged to Slaton. He then went on to post 1282 yards rushing with 9 rushing TD's. Furthermore, throwing in 50 receptions for 377 yards and a TD in the passing game.
Steve truly showed he is the work horse in the Texans dare, I say Juggernaut offense. However, I was disappointed when Head Coach Gary Kubiack came out this off season saying they needed to get another back in order to help Slaton. However, so far Gary hasn't signed anyone worth noting in free agency and drafted no one to help out either. This shows me that while Gary might think it would be nice to have another back (what coach wouldn't) he is still very satisfied with the top runner he has.
Steve Slanton's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
To me Slaton is a clear top 8 running back in this year's fantasy draft. And probably has the best supporting cast around him of any of the other top 10 running talents out there. Keep an eye out for if Houston gets a good goal line vulture to steal TD's away from him. Go Steve Go!!!
Fantasy Assets:
- Game Breaker
- Constant
- TD Maker (for now)
- Solid pass catcher
- Great offense around him
- 20 or more touches a game
Fantasy Liability's
- Durability could be a question mark
- Possible they may find a goal line back if he doesn't' succeed early
