Dameon Pierce thrust into opportunity against Carolina amid depleted Eagles backfield
Philadelphia’s backfield has been decimated by injuries, with Tank Bigsby on injured reserve, Will Shipley sidelined, and starter Saquon Barkley missing practice with a hamstring issue. After being elevated to the active roster, Pierce handled 11 carries and five targets last week, establishing himself as the lead healthy back.
If Barkley is ruled out or limited, Pierce enters flex territory. Our weekly projections anticipate around 10 carries for 41 rushing yards and a pair of targets in a matchup with Carolina. While his 1.3 yards per carry last week exposes efficiency concerns, pure touch volume makes him a worthy streamer.

Kalif Raymond at Atlanta — Low-Floor Slot Option in a Potential Shootout
Operating as Chicago's primary slot receiver alongside Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, Raymond has cooled considerably after a fast start, managing only 12 receiving yards on five catches across his last two games. Caleb Williams is practicing fully ahead of a high-scoring dome environment in Atlanta, but Raymond's volume remains inconsistent amid several competing pass catchers.
Our weekly projection estimates Raymond for roughly 3.2 catches and 33 receiving yards (7.5 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have reacted to his recent slump, causing his roster rate to fall to 36% and start rate down to 8%. Lacking reliable downfield usage, Raymond is merely a touchdown-dependent bench option or deep-league plug-in.
