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.

Travis Kelce vs. Chargers — Reliable Target in Home Divisional Matchup
Kelce leads the tight end room for an undefeated Chiefs team favored comfortably at home against the winless Chargers. With starting wideout Rashee Rice missing practice this week due to knee and hamstring ailments, Kelce should see elevated intermediate work from Patrick Mahomes, who practiced fully despite his own minor knee issue.
Our models project Kelce for 4.2 catches, 53 receiving yards, and 11.6 fantasy points this week. Even with occasional low-volume weeks as seen in recent games, his trusted red-zone chemistry and potential target bump make him a locked-in must-start option at tight end.
