Outlook Dameon Pierce
Dameon Pierce vs. Carolina — Elevated Workload in a Depleted Backfield
With Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley all sidelined with injuries, Pierce suddenly finds himself operating as Philadelphia's primary running back. He logged 11 carries and drew five targets in his Eagles debut last week, and with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts also ruled out, the offense should lean heavily on Pierce to keep things grounded against Carolina.
Fantasy managers have aggressively picked up Pierce, pushing his start rate over 54%. We project him for roughly 14 carries, 57 rushing yards, and 10.2 fantasy points against a vulnerable Panthers run defense. Although a low-scoring game environment could cap his ceiling, his guaranteed touch volume makes him a dependable flex option this week.

Outlook Brenton Strange
Brenton Strange in London — Surging Target Volume Elevates Tight End Value
Operating as Jacksonville's top tight end, Strange has established himself as a trusted target for Trevor Lawrence after securing 14 of 16 passes for 163 yards over his past two outings. That heavy workload sparked a massive surge in fantasy roster rates, jumping up to 71%.
Heading into Sunday's neutral-site London matchup against the Texans, our models project Strange for roughly 3.5 catches, 40 receiving yards, and 9.1 fantasy points. While he hasn't scored since early in the year, his recent eight-target per game floor makes him a dependable streaming start in PPR formats.
