Dameon Pierce Week 14 Outlook - Texans at Cowboys

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 8th 2022, 1:05pm EST

After back-to-back down games, Pierce responded with a small bounce-back effort last week with 72% of the snaps played with 21 touches and 95 total yards. Stuck in the Texans' pitiful offensive environment, Pierce hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 8. Pierce remains one of the most explosive rushers in the NFL. He's 18th in yards after contact per attempt, third in missed tackles forced, 21st in breakaway rate, and seventh in PFF's elusive rating (minimum 25 carries). Dallas has shown improvement against the run in recent weeks. Since Week 10, they are seventh in rushing success rate, 18th in rushing yards per game, and 18th in explosive run rate allowed. Pierce is an RB2.
