Dameon Pierce in mix for RB1 spot in Houston

Fantasy Impact: Pierce, a fourth-round selection in this year’s draft, has quietly been putting up a nice preseason since camp started. His main competitors for the starting spot are veterans Marlon Mack and Rex Burkhead, both of whom aren’t thought of as very athletic or explosive. Pierce has a real shot of finding himself as the lead back, and if that’s the case, he would almost certainly outperform his current ADP by a significant amount.
David Bell activated, could play Friday

Fantasy Impact: Bell has been dealing with an injury that left him out for the first part of camp, but he is back now and will make a push for a prominent role in this offense. The team still wants to play it safe with his recovery, but he feels good and could play in Friday’s preseason opener. The rookie makes for an interesting dynasty prospect long-term and a possibly solid bestball option for the time being.
Montrell Washington pushing for roster spot

Fantasy Impact: Washington has had an impressive off-season so far, and he seems to be the favorite to land the punt returning job for Denver right now. With veteran WR Tim Patrick being sidelined for this entire season with a torn ACL, the rookie has even more opportunity to emerge as a consistent contributor.
