What's the Story on Steve Slaton?

Found November 03, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Steve Slaton
TEAMS: Houston Texans,  Buffalo Bills

by Stephanie StradleyFiled under: Texans, AFC South, Fantasy FootballIf you write about the Houston Texans, the number one question you get from fans and fantasy football types is what's up with Steve Slaton? In the last game against the atrocious run defense of the Buffalo Bills, Slaton was benched after only one catch and carry because he fumbled the ball. Yet again. Slaton has a league high 7 fumbles for the year. Coach Gary Kubiak was up front about the benching, talking about it to Slaton and the team: "I told Steve in the locker room to get his chin up. This team needs him playing well and making plays and I'm expecting him to come right back next week and help us."What's the Story on Steve Slaton? originally appeared on Fanhouse NFL Blog on Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:30:00 EST .
