Dameon Pierce Has Strong Showing In Week 3
2 years agoHouston Texans running back Dameon Pierce was the lone fantasy bright spot in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. The rookie had 20 carries in the game, finishing with 80 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for 21 yards. After splitting snaps with Rex Burkhead in Week 1, Pierce has now firmly established himself as the No. 1 running back in Houston, as Burkhead had just three carries this week. Pierce is a solid RB2/3, though Houston's overall struggles on offense mean there will likely be some weeks where he doesn't get a ton of touches.
