Dameon Pierce Fantasy

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce won't be given an advantage heading into training camp. General manager Nick Caserio mentioned that Pierce will need to earn himself a role in the team's backfield. The Texans used the 107th pick to select Pierce out of Florida on draft day. He posted 790 yards and 16 touchdowns during the 2021 season with the Gators. The talent is certainly there, but the Texans are going to make Pierce work for his snaps. Marlon Mack appeared to be the favorite for lead back before draft day. At this point, it's uncertain what the Texans are planning to do. Pierce could be a frustrating player to roster heading into the beginning of next season.

The Texans selected Florida running back Dameon Pierce with the 107th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The former Gator finished his college career by running for 1,806 yards and 23 touchdowns for a sufficient 5.5 YPC. He was also responsible for five more trips to the end zone on the receiving end. Pierce was also a potent goal-line option, but his lack of consistent volume throughout his collegiate tenure is somewhat of a concern. However, with the Texans lacking at the position, the 22-year-old may quickly work his way up the depth chart.
