Dameon Pierce Improving Pass-Blocking
1 year agoHouston Texans running back Dameon Pierce has been working on his pass blocking this offseason. The 23-year-old put together a strong rookie campaign, but struggled to pick up blitzers and help as a pass blocker. Pro Football Focus graded him as the 128th best pass blocking back in 2022. Texans running backs coach Danny Barrett says Pierce has improved his pass blocking, which should help their offense tremendously. It's worth noting that the Texans signed Devin Singletary who ranked as the fifth-best pass blocker as a back last season. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Pierce's snap count considering he is improving as a blocker. He should profile as a mid-round value heading into fantasy drafts.
