Pierce was one of the biggest busts in Fantasy Football at the RB position in 2023. He fell out of favor and lost the lead back job to Devin Singletary by Week 9. There is some hope for Pierce heading into 2024 as the Texans have hinted multiple times that they will create a 1-2 punch for him and Joe Mixon, but there are also question marks about how his rushing style fits in Bobby Slowik's blocking scheme. Still, Pierce is part of what should be one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL and worth a dart throw as a late-round pick, especially for teams who didn't invest early-round assets at RB.
Another offseason spells increased competition for meaningful work in Houston's backfield. Pierce might have a stake in this trend when we consider he ranked 66th out of the 68 backs with at least 50 carries last season in yards per touch. Given Joe Mixon's established profile and the potential presence of rookie Jawhar Jordan on the depth chart, Pierce is positioned as merely a late-round insurance policy in drafts.
