Is Dameon Pierce in the Mix for the Texans in Seattle?

Saturday, October 18, 5:33 PM

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce played a season-high 16 snaps and had seven carries for 21 yards in his team's last game before the bye week. However, it was his first game being active since Week 1, and all his work came in the fourth quarter of their blowout win over the Ravens. With Nick Chubb getting early-down work and Woody Marks as a promising prospect for passing downs, Pierce will likely have no role except in mop-up duty or an occasional one-off carry. He is the No. 69-ranked RB in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 7 and is not expected to be a fantasy factor going forward, barring injury to Chubb or Marks.

James Cook III Remains Low-End RB1 in Difficult Matchup

Saturday, November 1, 3:53 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III remains a must-start despite a matchup against the formidable Kansas City Chiefs defense. Cook was electric last week, posting 216 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. The emerging star's 753 rushing yards and seven touchdowns through seven games place him in the most elite tier of the position this season, and make him a lock for starting lineups moving forward.
