The Houston Texans are expected to have running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) available for their Week 12 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pierce missed the Texans' last 3 games while dealing with an ankle injury, but is expected back for today's critical in-division game against the Jaguars. The exciting second-year back began ceding work to veteran teammate Devin Singletary shortly before his injury, and Singletary looked strong during Pierce's absence, so the division of their workloads will be worth watching for in today's game.
Our models project Pierce, who has a $5,800 salary on FanDuel, to score 7.6 fantasy points against the Jags in today's tilt. He is slated for 43.6 rushing yards, 7.4 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns from scrimmage.
