Dameon Pierce

Dameon Pierce rushed three times for 16 yards in the Texans’ Week 1 win over the Colts.

The Texans made Cam Akers a healthy scratch for this game, locking in Pierce as the RB2. However, they didn’t have much interest in taking Joe Mixon off the field as he totaled 33 touches in his first game as a Texan. Dare Ogunbowale also saw some work on passing downs and logged one reception. Pierce has no stand-alone fantasy value and is only worth stashing on extremely deep rosters.
