Throughout the preseason, some rookies have made some big splashes in their respective offenses. Of course, most of them are big names like Chris Olave or Kenny Pickett, who were drafted in the first round. Others drafted later usually must prove their worth to earn playing time, but a few players have carved out a role. These players are not the best bets, but they are not the worst, especially given their price tags. For this article, any odds of +1500 or higher are considered a longshot.'

Dameon Pierce (+1600 via BetMGM or FanDuel)
Houston drafted Dameon Pierce in the fourth round, and he is currently the starting running back for them. He had 1,806 yards in his four years with the Florida Gators, which is weird for a guy who averaged 5.5 yards per carry. It is not clear why he was given the limited opportunity there, but he is productive when he touches the ball. He will touch the ball in Houston's offense.
