Outlook Dameon Pierce
Dameon Pierce vs Carolina — Stepping Into an Expanded Role Amid Eagles Backfield Injuries
After being elevated to the active roster, Pierce immediately saw volume last week, handling 11 carries and five targets following a foot injury to Will Shipley. With Shipley and Tank Bigsby both sidelined and Saquon Barkley nursing a hamstring injury, Philadelphia's running back depth is stretched thin, leaving Pierce in line for meaningful rotational work.
However, efficiency was an issue, managing just 14 rushing yards in his season debut. Our weekly projection slots Pierce for 4.7 fantasy points on roughly six rushing attempts against the Panthers. Currently rostered in only 6% of leagues, he serves as a speculative deep-league play whose viability hinges heavily on Barkley's final injury designation.

Outlook RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey vs SEA — Receiving Volume Keeps Him in the Flex Mix
Operating alongside J.K. Dobbins in Denver's backfield, Harvey enters Week 6 completely healthy after earlier injury scares. With Jonah Coleman sidelined on injured reserve, Harvey has cemented his role as the team's primary third-down and passing-game back, hauling in 10 passes over his last two outings to command meaningful touches in Sean Payton's rotation.
That pass-catching involvement provides a respectable PPR floor despite modest carry numbers. Fantasy managers have taken note, with his start rate climbing near 50%. Our weekly projections expect roughly five carries alongside four to five receptions for nearly 49 total yards (11.3 fantasy points), making him a worthy flex consideration in deeper and PPR formats.
