The Miami Dolphins spent the offseason pursuing running back depth, and on Monday they found it, signing veteran Arian Foster to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.Among those pursuits:- The Dolphins unsuccessfully attempted to re-sign Lamar Miller.- They agreed to an offer sheet with C.J. Anderson that was matched by the Denver Broncos.- They were rumored to be considering trading up in the NFL draft to make a run at Ezekiel Elliott.All three are starting-caliber talents, which is why Fosters arrival in Miami isnt good news for Jay Ajayi, who for four months appeared a potential breakout candidate as the teams starter. It gives an impression that new head coach Adam Gase never truly trusted Ajayi with a potential bell-cow role.Foster, who was linked to the Dolphins as far back as March, is an ideal fit for Gases scheme, one thats somewhat similar to the system in which Foster played during his Houston Texans career. Though Foster has had difficulty staying healthy in recent years, he wasnt significantly less productive when he did play, averaging 14.2 standard fantasy points and 17.5 PPR points per game from 2013-15. Those project to 227 and 280 over a full, uninterrupted 16 game schedule, which wouldve been good for second (three standard points and 23 PPR points behind Devonta Freeman).During that time, Foster also had 20 games that ranked among the top 25 weekly scores at his position, and only two that fell outside the top 50.Unfortunately, Foster also missed 23 of 48 total team games during that time, and hell begin the 2016 season at the age of 30, coming off a ruptured Achilles that resulted in his March release by the Texans. It is a significant injury from which to recover for any running back, but especially so for a player of Fosters age. To assume that hell be 100 percent by Week 1 remains a bit of a stretch.This thrusts Foster into the risk/reward bin, and fantasy owners immediate reaction might therefore be that of frustration, watching another backfield slip into a potential timeshare. Though thats true -- Ajayis fantasy value suffers significantly, while Foster has too many durability questions to be fully trusted -- this could actually make either player a value opportunity in leagues that have yet to draft.Foster, after all, likely chose this spot under the impression that hed get a chance to prove to Gase that hes capable of handling starters duties once healthy. With a promising preseason, Foster could move to the lead of this backfield within the first few weeks of the regular season, or at the very least be a significant contributor in the receiving game.In PPR leagues, a healthy Foster -- to be clear, one with positive, near-glowing August reports -- could slip beneath the radar, and even in standard leagues hed be involved enough to warrant consideration in the sub-flex-play tier, the range from which fantasy owners typically build roster depth at the position to mix and match around matchups. If theres one thing weve known about Foster through the years, its that hes a definite fantasy start in the games hes an NFL starter. Its investing in the long term that is the risky business with him.Ajayi, meanwhile, would remain one of the wisest backups to stash in the later rounds, under the guise that Foster will miss time in 2016 (and he almost certainly will, considering his injury history). Even a 10-spot drop in the running back rankings would make him well worth the speculative pick for a potential RB2 contribution later in the season during one of Fosters absences.Previously my No. 22 running back, Ajayi dropped to 30th in my rankings as a result of Fosters arrival, while Foster, originally No. 48 as a free agent, moved up to 39th.Cincinnati Reds Pro Shop .
