The Houston Texans have struggled this season, but rookie running back Dameon Pierce has been a beacon of hope. He rushed for 539 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Pierce will be looking for continued success when he takes on the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football. The Eagles have allowed under 20 points in five of their last six games, so should you include Pierce in your TNF NFL DFS rosters and NFL DFS stacks? Meanwhile, Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts had over 2,000 yards, while wide receiver AJ Brown had three touchdowns last week. Should you stack Hurts and Brown with your NFL DFS strategy?

Top NFL DFS picks for Eagles vs. Texans
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. He was one of the most effective quarterbacks in the NFL this season, completing 67% of his passes for 1,799 yards, 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Hurts provides additional inside-out fantasy football with his legs, rushing for 303 yards and six touchdowns.
The offseason acquisition of Brown was a game-changer for Philadelphia, as he was one of the best wide receivers in the league this year. Hurts also has several other reliable targets in tight end Dallas Goedert and wide receiver DeVonta Smith. The Texans have allowed more than 30 points multiple times this season, which doesn’t bode well for their chances of slowing Hurts on Thursday.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes lining up Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown. The former Ole Miss star was unstoppable in Philadelphia’s win over the Steelers last Sunday. Brown recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 156 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday’s 35-13 win.
Brown established a strong relationship with Hurts in his first season with the Eagles and was targeted at least seven times in every game. That bodes well for Brown’s Fantasy value against the Texans, who are giving up 403.6 yards per game, which ranks them 30th in the NFL. Lock him into your NFL DFS rosters and expect a big comeback against the Texans on Thursday Night Football. You can see the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS tips here.
