Dameon Pierce News
Thursday, March 19, 8:36 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Dameon Pierce. The 26-year-old was originally drafted in the fourth round (107th overall) by the Houston Texans in 2022 out of the University of Florida. He had 1,648 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 405 rushing attempts in his first three years in the league with Houston before spending 2025 with Houston and the Kansas City Chiefs. Pierce saw only 14 rushing attempts last year for 36 yards. He has not been able to replicate his rookie season in 2022, when he ran for 939 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 220 rushing attempts. In Philly, Pierce will compete for the RB3 duties with Will Shipley, behind starter Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. For now, he remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Woody Marks News
Wednesday, June 17, 8:20 AM
Across 16 games (eight starts) as a rookie in 2025, Houston Texans running back Woody Marks recorded 911 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 220 touches. The 25-year-old began the year behind former Houston veteran back Nick Chubb, but Marks emerged as the team's RB1 over the second half of the season. Entering 2026, Marks looks to have fallen back into RB2 duties following the Texans' offseason trade acquisition of former Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. However, Marks could still play a key role in the Houston offense as a pass-catcher. Marks recorded 208 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in 2025, while Montgomery averaged just over two targets per game across his final three seasons with the Lions. Montgomery is also entering his age-29 season in 2026, so Marks could still profile as the running back of the future in Houston. In dynasty formats, managers could have a prime buy-low window on Marks following the Texans' addition of Montgomery.
