Dameon Pierce

Dameon Pierce carried the ball 19 times for 176 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch either of his two targets in a 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

The Texans rested many of their starters after their first offensive drive of the game, giving Pierce a chance to handle the bulk of the work. He turned in a huge afternoon, doing the majority of his damage on a 92-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Pierce will revert back to the backup role heading into the Texans' wild-card matchup against the Chargers on Saturday.

Dameon Pierce carried the ball five times for 13 yards in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce was unable to make the most of a slight increase in backfield work Wednesday, averaging 2.6 yards per carry as part of a forgettable offensive performance Wednesday. The running back can remain out of lineups in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Tennessee Titans.

Dameon Pierce carried the ball once for four yards in the Texans' 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce continues to be an afterthought out of the Houston backfield, receiving one carry or less in each of his last five games. The running back should remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

Dameon Pierce rushed the ball one time for two yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

There was nothing to hear out of Pierce on Monday. He saw just one touch over the course of the game, as opposed to Joe Mixon, who saw 22 touches and turned that into 150+ yards and three touchdowns. Pierce has no standalone fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Dameon Pierce was a full participant at practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce should be good to go for Monday's game against the Cowboys. He'll remain in a backup role behind Joe Mixon.
