Dameon Pierce

Texans standout rookie running back Dameon Pierce suffered a relatively mild high-ankle sprain Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys that is regarded as likely to sideline him for at least one game, according to league sources.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Texans have actually released Benjamin, according to reports, leaving Ogunbowale and Burkhead as the team's main backs for at least Week 15, perhaps longer. While they are likely to split the work in some way, probably no one would be surprised if Burkhead got a majority of the work given the Texans past usage of him. As for Pierce, and as the story said, high-ankle sprains tend to linger, but this isn’t regarded as severe. According to the story, a source characterized Pierce's status as fluid and predicted Pierce could return within a range of one to two weeks. However, there obviously isn't a need to rush him back so owners will want to monitor.

Texans RB Dameon Pierce questionable for Week 15

Lovie Smith says he hasn't yet any update on Dameon Pierce's ankle injury and whether he can play this week. "It will take an awful lot for him not to play." Hopes it's short-term. "We'll see."

Fantasy Impact: 

Pierce has been one of the lone bright spots on the entire Texans team, and even he has slowed down as the year has gone along. You would need to be in a very desperate spot to need to start either Eno Benjamin or Rex Burkhead in the case that the rookie misses Week 15.

Texans claim RB Eno Benjamin

A new back in Houston: Texans claimed former Cardinals’ RB Eno Benjamin on waivers, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Jason Rosenhaus.

Related players: Dameon Pierce, Rex Burkhead

Fantasy Impact: 

Benjamin will eventually battle Burkhead for the team's RB2 role this year and perhaps going forward. Pierce's role should be relatively safe with Benjamin maybe stealing some carries. Since Sept. 25, Pierce has had 20 or more carries four times, including 26 times vs. the Jags and 27 times vs. the Eagles. Benjamin should have more of a role in the passing game where he may cut into Burkhead's role.

Texans give high praise to RB Dameon Pierce

Lovie Smith on rookie RB Dameon Pierce: "We as a football team need to finish (better). I haven't said that an awful lot to Dameon. He finishes plays."

Related players: Rex Burkhead

Fantasy Impact: 

Lovie went on to say, "(He's) what we want to be. Toughness. Extra effort. All those things you talk about is exactly what we see from him." The Texans were able to stay in the game vs. the Broncos last week and keep things close, so Pierce had a 15-69-0 line and also added a catch for eight yards. Burkhead didn't get a carry in Week 2 so the hope is Pierce's workload continues to trend this way, perhaps with even more work in the passing game.
