He was a major part of three Super Bowl Championship teams. Despite his groundbreaking style, Craig is often overlooked as he played on some of the most prolific offenses in football and critics have said he was the beneficiary of the great offensive stars (Montana & Rice) around him. Regardless, Roger Craig was a brilliant weapon for the 49ers offense and though placing him into the Hall is very much open for debate, he should have received way more consideration than he has thus far, though the 2020 Blue Ribbon Finalist spot is a promising sign.

Craig has an advantage in yards/rush, Foreman in yards/catch and yards per touch, i.e., combined rushes and receptions. Foreman has a clear advantage in touchdowns per run, reception, game and season while Craig had the better playoff stats, although not by an overwhelming margin.
I'm a Vikings fan but as much as I loved Chuck Foreman, I don't think either he or Roger Craig earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
