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.
