Dameon Pierce Week 4 Outlook - Chiefs at Jets

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Pierce has had a brutal start to the season, but it could begin to turn around this week. His offensive line hasn't helped him much, and while it remains banged up, the matchup is pretty pretty good. Pierce has played 45-54% of the snaps weekly, averaging 15.6 touches and 47 total yards. Pittsburgh has allowed the eighth-highest explosive run rate, the ninth-highest missed tackle rate, and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt. Pittsburgh has given up the second-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Pierce 75% zone). Houston should look to feed Pierce this week and keep the pass rush heat off Stroud. Week 4 Positional Value: Borderline RB2/3
