Daemon Pierece and Cam Akers will likely lead the Texans backfield in Week 4, giving fantasy football managers an interesting decision to make.
Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson provided several critical injury updates for fantasy football managers about Houston's running back situation heading into their game against the Jaguars this Sunday.
Wilson also reported initial starting running back Joe Mixon is "week-to-week" as he recovers from a sprained ankle suffered in Week 2. That indicates he'll miss his second straight game this week. If Pierce was healthy, he'd hold some value in fantasy football. But as is, his value is low and him potentially playing only hurts Akers already-low value. It doesn't make either an interesting start in Week 4.
He did score a TD on the reception, the Vikings' defense is strong against the run and the game was one-sided toward the Vikings, which gives Akers' truthers some ammunition heading into a game against a porous Jaguars defense. But Akers hasn't produced a good fantasy outing since he was on the Rams in 2022 and the Jags are susceptible to the pass than the run.
