Dameon Pierce Good To Go For Monday

Saturday, November 16, 6:33 PM

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (groin) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Pierce is set to get back on the field for the first time since Week 8. He has been banged up this season and has only played in four games, but is expected to be the primary backup to Joe Mixon. The return of Pierce should take some of the workload off Mixon, but Pierce is unlikely to play enough to warrant starting in fantasy formats.

Ray Davis Viewed As High-Risk RB3 In Week 15

Saturday, December 14, 2:43 PM

Buffalo Bills rookie running back should be viewed as a high-risk RB3 heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Davis has typically been deployed as a change-of-pace option in the Buffalo backfield behind James Cook. Last weekend, during their loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Kentucky product did not log a carry and only saw 12 total offensive snaps. However, in Week 13, Davis ran the ball 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. Overall, since Week 8, Davis has averaged 4.8 rushing attempts per game but has produced well in this role, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. While Davis may see a few opportunities near the red zone, he is a high-risk option given his unstable role in the Buffalo offense. Facing a tough Detroit defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs does not make Davis' path much clearer as, well.
