Newsbreakers

According to Nick Scurfield on Twitter, Steve Slaton will be part of a running back by committee approach to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Our View:Coach Gary Kubiak plans to use "all three" of his backs and intends to "work them all" during the game. So Slaton, Ryan Moats and Chris Brown will all see playing time, but how much is up in the air. Moats figures to be the feature back after his huge performance on Sunday, with Brown getting short yardage plays and Slaton factoring in more on the receiving end. But Slaton should get some carries as well. If he can actually hang onto the ball this week he just may earn his job back.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak has not said yet whether or not Steve Slaton's Week 8 benching is a permanent thing, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Our View:With Ryan Moats rushing 23 times for 126 yards and three touchdowns, and more importantly, not fumbling in his absence, it sure isn't looking good for Slaton. Consider Moats an essential hand-cuff if you are a Slaton owner.

Steve Slaton has been benched after losing a fumble in the first quarter of today's battle at Buffalo, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Slaton has been dealing with ball-control issues for most of the season, and apparently head coach Gary Kubiak lost his patience after his latest fumble. Ryan Moats replaced him as the No. 1 running back.

Steve Slaton will remain the Texans' starting running back despite his issues with ball security, according to the Houston Chronicle. Head coach Gary Kubiak said, "Steve is our guy, and I have a lot of confidence in him. It is our job to help him find a way to hold on to the football. He touches it, and good things happen. But at the same time, you can make five big plays and one turnover can get you beat. Steve understands that."

Our View:Slaton has fumbled the ball six times over seven games this season, but apparently Kubiak still has faith in him. The second-year back will have a favorable matchup this weekend against the Bills, who rank 24th in total defense.
October 25, 2009
Steve Slaton racked up 67 rushing yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in today's 24-21 win over the 49ers at Reliant Stadium. He also caught four passes for 22 receiving yards and another touchdown.

Our View:Fantasy owners should be very pleased with 89 total yards and two touchdowns from Slaton. He only had three touchdowns over the previous six games.
