ESPN Insider and Fantasy Expert Eric Karabell says so in his latest column:
↵↵↵When I look at how fantasy owners are selecting these Houston running backs, I think all three of them are being largely underdrafted. The Texans' offense is terrific, and although quarterback Matt Schaub did the heavy lifting last season, there are opportunities for a running back to shine. The Texans just couldn't find that guy last season until Foster was given a chance. Tate is currently being selected 92nd overall, which seems like a bargain because I still view him as having a 50-50 chance to win the job outright. Foster and Slaton are barely separated at all, ranking 147th and 149th, respectively.

Of course, it's only human nature to undervalue players when theres a chance they might not get to play at all, and thats why with three separate running backs that look like they could start, the Texans backs bring each others value down so much. Personally, I'd start looking to snap Foster up around the fifth or sixth round, if I were a fantasy owner targeting running backs. Tate could very well steal the job down the stretch but Foster seems like a changed man in this camp and as long as the performance is there from last year, he'll probably be carrying the bulk of the load.
↵And if my opinion isn't enough for you, well, Maurice Jones-Drew thinks so too.
