I'm surprised how little Pierce talk there is around here. Just searched: Only thread with Pierce in the title is Waldman's post linking to here and receiving no replies. Another thread in the assistant coach forum asked if Pierce was worth rostering. Other than that, it's crickets...
He looked decent Monday, even getting a red zone carry. And most importantly, the team had enough faith in Pierce's ability to handle RB duties that it put Rainey on the practice squad (risking losing him to a RB-needy team).
All the while, Pierce flies under the radar. In my three leagues (2 12 team & 1 10 team keeper), Goodson and Moreno just received handsome amounts of waiver wire attention and Pierce went untouched. He's not even mentioned Waldman's waiver wire and didn't even get an upgrade or "potential waiver wire gem."
Even 7th rounder Daryl Richardson gets some love because he's apparently ahead of Pead on the depth chart now. Considering that he's on a pedestrian offense and Pead would likely nip at his heels in the event Alexander goes down, the only factor I see in Richardson's favor is the age gap between Steven Jackson and Ray Rice. Everything else points to Pierce...
What am I missing???
