Dameon Pierce in London — Expanded Role Follows Key Backfield Injuries

Pierce was recently signed to Philadelphia's active roster after injuries sidelined both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. Head coach Nick Sirianni publicly praised Pierce's starting ability, setting him up to share touches alongside Will Shipley in London against Jacksonville.

Despite the promotion, Pierce remains a speculative deep-league play rather than a standard starter. He is rostered in just 5% of leagues, and our weekly projection expects around 7 carries for 26 rushing yards and a lone reception (about 5.2 fantasy points). With multiple starting offensive linemen also ruled out, Pierce is a touchdown-dependent option who should be rostered as an upside stash while this backfield sorts itself out.
