Dameon Pierce Expects To Play In Second Preseason Game

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce isn't sure what his workload will be in the team's second preseason game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, but he expects to play after not seeing action in last week's preseason opener against the New England Patriots. The 23-year-old fourth-rounder looked great in his first NFL season last year before suffering a season-ending ankle injury. He finished with 939 yards and four rushing touchdowns on 220 carries (4.3 yards per carry) in 13 starts for Houston. The Texans added Devin Singletary in the offseason, but Pierce remains the team's clear lead back and should see enough volume to make him at least a low-end RB2 in fantasy leagues in an offense that will be run by rookie first-round quarterback C.J. Stroud.
