Texans 'all want to see Dameon [Pierce] run' after Week 1 loss
What it means:
Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik expressed regret at not giving running back Dameon Pierce more rushes in the team's Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
"I wanted to stick with the run longer and I got away from it at the end," Slowik said of Sunday's loss. The first-year offensive coordinator added that the team's offense plays off of the rushing game, emphasizing a desire to get Pierce more touches going forward. Pierce totaled 38 yards on 11 carries against the Ravens and caught 2 of his 3 targets for 9 additional yards, but could see much more action in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Our models have a much friendlier projection in store for Pierce in Week 2, with 63.4 rushing yards, 13.1 receiving yards, and 0.5 touchdowns for 11.2 fantasy points against the Colts. He has a $6,000 salary on FanDuel.
