Who Should I Start? George Holani or Dameon Pierce

Saturday, November 29, 9:41 PM

Per the team, Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury picked up in last weekend's 30-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Boise State product will now miss at least the next four games, with his earliest return date coming for the team's outing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. In a corresponding move, Seattle signed veteran RB Myles Gaskin from their practice squad to the active roster. While Gaskin may work intermittently in place of Holani, he'll still be a distant third option behind teammates Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet in the Seahawks' backfield. Seattle's ground attack will get a dream matchup in Week 13 against a struggling Minnesota rush defense.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Dameon Pierce was signed to the practice squad on Monday. This news comes after Pierce was cut by the Houston Texans last week. The 25-year-old barely had a role in Houston, so a change of scenery was needed. This wasn't a perfect landing spot, but Pierce should see more action in Kansas City. Lead back Isiah Pacheco (knee) is currently banged up, but is expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Outside of that, Kareem Hunt is the primary backup with Brashard Smith getting mixed in as well. At the moment, Pierce doesn't seem to have a path to consistent playing time, but that could change if Pacheco is unable to play. Fantasy managers should keep Pierce on their radar if someone goes out.
