Texans coach Lovie Smith said Dameon Pierce “needs to get at least 20 carries” a game. He actually said the “lead tailback” is the one who needs 20 carries, but he made it clear that is what Pierce is, saying the rookie will cede only third-down work to Rex Burkhead. Usually coaches oversell running back workloads, but Pierce has 20, 14, and 26 carries over his last three games. As long as the Texans can keep the game in reach, he should be fed, making him a solid RB2 despite a lackluster offense.
Las Vegas Raiders DFS Spin
Darren Waller (hamstring) will not play in Week 7 against the Texans. This has been the expectation since Waller told Jim Trotter that he’d likely miss the game. Waller did not practice at any point this week after leaving Monday Night Football. He’s going to remain an injury question into Week 8. If you’re suddenly needing a tight end with Waller out of your lineups, backup Foster Moreau could factor into your streamer plans.
