Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce has been ruled out for the Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It looks like Pierce is a healthy scratch for the second straight week. The Texans will roll with Nick Chubb, Woody Marks, and Dare Ogunbowale in the backfield. At this point, Pierce has fallen too far down on the depth chart to warrant rostering in fantasy formats. It appears that it would take another injury for him to even see snaps in Houston.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had a quiet statistical game in his team's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with 20 yards from scrimmage on seven total touches. Bears RB1 D'Andre Swift still appears to have a strong hold on the backfield touches in Chicago, as Swift finished with 78 yards from scrimmage on 16 total touches. Neither Bears running back is averaging four yards per carry so far this season, so Monangai could work his way into a larger workload if he can improve his production over the course of the season. In deep fantasy leagues, the 23-year-old could be a worthy stash candidate depending on overall roster construction.
