Outlook Dameon Pierce

Dameon Pierce vs. Carolina — Increased Workload Beckons Amid Backfield Injuries

Following injuries to Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley, plus Saquon Barkley's lingering hamstring issue, Dameon Pierce stepped up to log 11 carries and five targets in his Eagles debut. Philadelphia's depth chart is severely depleted, leaving Pierce as the primary healthy early-down back heading into Week 6.

Pierce was inefficient last week with only 14 rushing yards, but our weekly model projects him for 9.2 rushes, 38 rushing yards, and 7.2 fantasy points. With his roster rate spiking to 22%, he serves as a viable flex option in deeper leagues, though a modest 40.5 game total caps his overall scoring upside.
