Jonathan Grimes' role makes him an unappealing Fantasy add
Texans running back Jonathan Grimes saw a significant increase in his role in Week 3 with Arian Foster out, but it hardly translated to Fantasy production.
Grimes came off the bench behind Alfred Blue but played 40 percent of the team's snaps in the 30-17 loss to the Giants. Unfortunately, Grimes was used almost exclusively in passing downs, and ended up touching the ball just twice. He had one carry for 5 yards, and was only targeted once in the passing game as well.
If Foster is forced to miss more time moving forward, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Grimes get more of a look than he did Sunday. However, he seems to be viewed almost exclusively as a third-down back in Houston, leaving him on the fringes of Fantasy relevance at this point.
