Slaton's rushing stats drop off

Houston Texans running back Steve Slaton is still in search of his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season after reaching the century mark five times in his rookie campaign a year ago. He's averaging 3.1 yards-per-carry, which is more than a yard-and-a-half less than the 4.8 YPC he averaged in 2008. While Slaton has salvaged value by racking up more than 300 yards and three touchdowns in the passing game, he's been a major disappointment for those fantasy owners who spent a first-round pick on him.
