Who Should I Start? Dameon Pierce or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Sunday, October 13, 4:44 PM

Upon returning from a hamstring injury, Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce had his best game in more than a year during a 41-21 victory at New England, finishing with 76 rushing yards and a touchdown on just eight carries. The third-year back also added one catch for one yard, but compiled most of his fantasy points on a 54-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter. Sunday marked the Florida product's highest rushing total since going for 81 yards in Week 4 of the 2023 season. Running back Joe Mixon is still the clear top option in Houston, so Pierce's usage with a big lead against a bad team could be an aberration. Houston will take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 7.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a modest performance in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tracy led the team in carries with six, totaling 23 rushing yards at a 3.8-yard average, with his longest run going for eight yards. In the passing game, he added three receptions for just nine yards but failed to find the end zone, finishing the day with 4.7 fantasy points. With Devin Singletary back in the lineup, Tracy still handled most of the rushing work but faces a challenging Week 8 matchup against Pittsburgh.
