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.
