Dameon Pierce Controls Backfield Once Again
2 years agoHouston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce continued to dominate the team's backfield touches in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, as he recorded 20 of the team's 23 rushing attempts. Pierce ended the day with 92 rushing yards, plus added four receptions for 25 yards. At this point, Pierce has one of the most secure roles of any running back in the NFL, though the struggles of this offense as a whole might keep Pierce from getting enough red zone looks to be a fantasy RB1. Still, he's a high-end RB2 at this point.
