Dameon Pierce of the Texans will miss the upcoming game against the Lions due to a groin injury, leading to J.J. Taylor stepping in as his replacement. However, Taylor is not considered a viable fantasy option. Meanwhile, Joe Mixon is expected to receive a significant workload in his upcoming game.

The Houston Texans will be without running back Dameon Pierce due to a hamstring injury for their game against the Buffalo Bills. This opens up the backfield for Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, and J.J. Taylor, with Akers expected to lead in touches. However, last week he shared carries with Taylor and passing-down snaps with Ogunbowale, indicating a potential committee approach.

Dameon Pierce, the Houston Texans' running back, is not expected to play against the Buffalo Bills due to a hamstring injury. After missing the last three games, he returned to limited practice on Friday, but it appears he is not ready for game action. With Joe Mixon also sidelined, the Texans will rely on Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, and J.J. Taylor in the backfield.
