Today I wanna talk about whether to start Dameon Pierce, that Houston Texans running back. I’ve been fiddling with my fantasy football lineup, and this guy’s been riding my bench for a while now. So I did a deep dive to figure out if he’s worth putting in the game.
First thing I did was look at his recent performance. Man, it’s been rough. The last game I saw, he only got 13 yards on five carries. That’s not exactly setting the world on fire. It felt like watching paint dry, honestly.
Then I checked out some expert rankings. These guys get paid to know this stuff, right? Turns out, most of them aren’t too high on Pierce either. I saw one ranking that had him at 364th overall in the league! That’s pretty much at the bottom of the barrel.
I also dug into his fantasy stats for the season. Nothing to write home about. He’s not putting up the points you’d want from a starting running back. I mean, he has some rushing yards, a couple of touchdowns, but it’s just not impressive. His receiving game is almost non-existent.
Considered his previous hype and that didn’t help me at all. He seems like a handcuff to Mixon at best. And trying to predict when a starter will go down is like trying to catch a greased pig. It ain’t easy.
Then I saw his overall ranking, RB66 and No. 243 overall. That’s waiver wire territory, folks. Not someone you’re drafting early. This just confirmed my suspicions.
And finally, I noticed that he doesn’t even have an injury designation anymore. Remember that hamstring issue? Well, he’s apparently healthy, but he’s still not producing. That’s a big red flag for me.
My Conclusion
- Checked his recent game performance – it was bad.
- Looked at expert rankings – they weren’t impressed.
- Dug into his season stats – underwhelming.
- Considered previous hype but found little value.
- Saw his overall ranking – very low.
- Noticed he’s healthy but still not performing.
After all this digging, I’ve decided to keep Dameon Pierce on my bench. He’s just not worth the risk right now. Maybe things will change later in the season, but for now, he’s staying put. I ain’t got time for players who ain’t producing. I need those fantasy points! It’s a tough decision, but you gotta do what you gotta do to win.
