2023 Rush/Rec Projections
Heavy volume again Saturday
Foster rushed 22 times for 83 yards and caught two passes for 11 yards Saturday against Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Foster's workhorse role Saturday isn't very surprising given that Mike Epstein (foot) is done for the year and Ra'Von Bonner (concussion) was also unavailable for the Illini. Despite the increased usage the last couple of weeks, Foster has turned in a couple of mediocre outings and has found pay dirt just once this season. He and his teammates finish up 2017 with a couple of tough matchups against Ohio State and Northwestern, limiting Foster's upside even if he is the main man.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Foster led the way in the Illini backfield in 2016, rushing 126 times for 720 yards and seven touchdowns on the season while averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Freshman Reggie Corbin ate into his workload at different points in the season, but the senior still figures to receive the bulk of the carries in his senior campaign. Illinois' inexperience under center and Lovie Smith's emphasis on the running game should result in plenty of opportunities for Foster to be featured. It may be difficult for Foster to repeat the efficiency of his totes from last season in 2017, but the volume will be high enough to where his overall production is viable.
