There were two games Thursday night, with the Texans and Niners playing a majority of starters while the Packers and Chiefs mostly played backups. Rookie running back Dameon Pierce was the fantasy headliner, again, starting for Houston and running all over the 49ers early on.
The Chiefs played some starters briefly — including RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire and WR Mecole Hardman — then gave Isiah Pacheco and Ronald Jones plenty of work into the third quarter. We'll cover that and more below in team-by-team recaps of Thursday's preseason games (check back Monday for recaps on every team, along with projections for Week 1 roles).
