Pierce had 58% route participation and 67% long-down-distance in Week 2 of the preseason after resting in Week 1. These are indicators of a workhorse, 3-down role.
After exceeding 3 receptions only twice during the 2022 season, the emergence of Pierce’s 3rd down & LDD role shifts his range of outcomes from a median high-floor back-end RB2 to a Top-15 option with Top-10 weekly upside.
Dameon Pierce is not only mis-priced as RB19 in ADP but also becomes a target for zero/heroRB builds.
Pierce will be the hero fantasy managers both need and deserve.
