News and Notes
Nov 8 Ryan Moats will start Sunday at Indianapolis in place of Slaton, who was benched last week because of fumbling problems.

Advice: It's likely the talented Slaton will still get some touches, but he's a very shaky fantasy play until it becomes clear how coach Gary Kubiak intends to use him.

Nov 7 RB Steve Slaton has lost his starting job to Ryan Moats for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, according to a report by ESPN citing coach Gary Kubiak. Slaton was benched last Sunday after losing his fifth fumble of the season. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 6 Texans coach Gary Kubiak gave Slaton another vote of confidence Friday, saying that the team needs him to win this week against Indianapolis, the Texans' official site reports.

Recommendation: "I got a lot of confidence in Steve, you all know that," Kubiak said of Slaton, who has lost five fumbles this season. "I'm trying to work him through this the right way. We're going to need him to win this week." Kubiak continues to insist that all three of his running backs -- Slaton, Ryan Moats and Chris Brown -- will get work this week.
