Houston Texans 2022 Fantasy Outlook: Rookie Dameon Pierce Could Challenge for Starting Job

The cloud of Deshaun Watson left the Houston Texans over the winter. Davis Mills handled himself well in his rookie season, but the Texans only added one upgrade at wide receiver (John Metchie) in this year’s draft class. The running back position gains Marlon Mack and Dameon Pierce, which may not be a significant improvement. Brandin Cooks looks to be the only fantasy-relevant player until Metchie recovers fully from his torn ACL (last December).

Offense

Houston ran the ball 43.5% of the time last season due to losing in many games.
