How will Texans rookies fare as fantasy football options next season?

Look for Foreman to provide key depth, and perhaps find success as opposing defenses begin to wear down in the second half of games. There are other traits the rookie has that should have fantasy players excited. Foreman has good hands, doesn't tire, and he has starting-level talent.
