A lot of players disappointed week one and some might come to mind for you right away when I say that.

0:04.9

And then there were guys who had great performances, but they just aren't sustainable.

0:08.6

These are the types of players you want to sell high on and trade away to your league mates as soon as possible.

0:13.6

And here are 12 players who fit this description that you want to get rid of before week two. Let's begin with the Houston Texans running back, Damian Pierce, who look, I haven't been

0:20.8

high on him at all for most of the offseason, and it got worse in week one for him. This offseason,

0:25.1

there was a lot of belief that he could be a three down back and earned the third down passing

0:28.7

game role. We saw a little glimpse of this in the preseason, but boy, oh boy, was this not the

0:33.0

case, week one? As you can see here from Fantasy Life, our official data partner, the snap counts for week one.

0:38.5

Yeah, Damien Pierce saw 49%, but that's not good.

0:40.7

That's not a work course role.

0:42.0

And two other running backs, not just Devin Singletary, were involved.

0:45.1

Mike Boone, the veteran, played 31% of the snaps and Singletary saw 21% of the snaps.

0:49.8

And more importantly, Mike Boone was the passing down back. He played 55% of the two-minute drill snaps and 67% of the third down snaps.

0:57.8

So the translation here is this is a nasty three-headed backfield where Damien Pierce only

1:01.6

saw early down work, which he split with Devon Singletar.

1:04.2

And the crappy part is you probably spent the fifth or a six-round pick on Pierce in your

1:07.3

draft.

1:08.3

And based on what we just saw week one, he's like a ninth, 10th, maybe even like 11th round value based on that role. And to make matters worse, the Texans'

1:14.4

offensive line is brutal. Two dudes are already on IR and three guys are banged up and missed

1:18.2

week one. And this was evident because Damian Pierce had just 11 carries for 38 yards. He was

1:23.1

really inefficient. Houston's going to be underdogs in most, if not all their games, meaning that Mike Boone's going to be on the field a lot as a passing downback and Pierce won't be on the

1:30.6

field. And this report came out last week from Roto World football. It said the Texans are going to
