Pierce was Houston's main offensive catalyst as he finished his rookie season with the eighth-most rushing yards per game (72.2), despite averaging 4.3 yards per carry (30th in the league). He finished his rookie campaign fifth in yards after contact (506), fourth in broken tackles (27) and he broke a tackle every eight rushing attempts (second-best in the NFL). He was one of just three players to average more yards after contact (2.3) than before (2.0).
The only reason Pierce wasn't higher in these categories is because he was sidelined in the final four games of the season due to a foot injury. He finished the fantasy football season with the 25th-most fantasy points (170.4) among running backs, but averaged 13.1 fantasy points per game, the 21st-most at his position. His biggest fantasy flaw is finding the endzone, as he only scored five times.
If Pierce sticks to the same formula he used last season, he'll only continue to improve. He's expected to be a key figure in the Texans offensive so topping his 250 touches from last season isn't out of the question. The angry runner will start the fantasy football season as an RB2, but he has the potential to finish as a lower-end RB1 if touchdown variance goes his way.

Dameon Pierce expected to play in Week 12 Ankle injury By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 26, 7:00 am

| | Texans’ RB Dameon Pierce, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play vs. the Jaguars, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Pierce has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury which has allowed Devin Singletary to take control of the backfield in Houston. The coaching staff has noted that they intend to use both backs but I'd expect Singletary to get the start and play in a lead back role against the Jaguars.

| Dameon Pierce not expected to play Week 11 Nico Collins good to go By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 17, 7:00 am

| | Running back Dameon Pierce, a Pro Bowl alternate as a rookie last season, isn’t practicing due to an ankle injury that has kept him out the past two games. He is not expected to play Sunday, per a league source.
When Pierce returns, he will split time with Devin Singletary, per offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.
Wide receiver Nico Collins practiced for the second consecutive game. He is set to go for Sunday’s game after missing the Bengals game with a strained calf.
Collins declared that he feels good and he will play Sunday. (Aaron Wilson)
FFToday's Take: Pierce has missed the last two games with an ankle injury. He did return to practice Friday but it appears Singletary will get the backfield mostly to himself this week with a little Mike Boone sprinkled in. This puts Singletary on the RB2 radar against the Cardinals with RB1 upside if he finds the endzone.

| Dameon Pierce misses practice on Wednesday Ankle injury By: Mike Krueger | Wed Nov 1, 5:44 pm

| | #Texans Dameon Pierce (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday. Undergoing treatment today for injured ankle that sidelined him during practice, #Texans running back Dameon Pierce not ruled out for Sunday's game, per league source, as it's being weighed whether missing a week would allow him to return to full capabilities. @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on X)
FFToday's Take: We'll need to keep an eye on this situation throughout the week as Devin Singletary could get a volume bump against the Bucs if Pierce is out in Week 9. Two back have been splitting work the last few weeks. Mike Boone is next up on the depth chart.
