Pierce began the season as the Texans&#8217; RB1 but found little room to operate in the role. He had one touchdown and was averaging 3.0 yards per carry, good for 327 yards on 109 attempts, at the time of his Week 8 injury.<\/p>\n<p>He also drifted into a more even split in carries with Devin Singletary\u00a0during his last two games active, and Pierce&#8217;s fifth-year teammate has since been on a tear.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              NFL Fantasy 2023 Start &#x27;Em, Sit &#x27;Em: Running backs for Week 12            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 fantasy football flex rankings: Top 150 RB\/WR\/TE options in Week 12            <\/li>\n<li>              Week 12 NFL picks: Eagles unanimously predicted to beat Bills; who wins Jaguars-Texans AFC South gem?            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Singletary has rushed for 262 yards and two touchdowns on 52 carries in the past two games, averaging 5.0 yards per carry across one of the most impressive stretches of his career.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans may feel obliged to continue riding the hot hand, but even if Pierce only serves a complementary role for his first game back, it will prove valuable &#8212; no other RB outside Singletary has logged more than a single carry in a game since Pierce fell injured.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how the carries pan out, Houston having its running back duo back together and healthy bodes well for an offense that&#8217;s surging under rookie quarterback C.J.
