Outlook Dameon Pierce
Dameon Pierce vs. Cowboys — Workload Spikes Amid Backfield Injuries
Pierce has taken over primary rushing duties for the Eagles with Saquon Barkley nursing a hamstring issue and depth thinned by injuries to Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. With Tanner McKee under center, Pierce has handled 23 carries and 10 targets over his last two contests, finding the end zone last week against Carolina.
While his 2.1 yards per carry reveals efficiency concerns, guaranteed touches keep his fantasy floor intact. Our weekly projection tabs him for roughly 14 carries and 59 rushing yards for 11.2 fantasy points against Dallas. He profiles as a solid Flex play this week, though managers should monitor Barkley's status leading into game day.

Mike Washington vs. Rams — Capped Workload in a Shared Backfield
Operating behind starter Ashton Jeanty on the depth chart, Washington rebounded with nine carries for 43 yards and a reception against Buffalo after coach Klint Kubiak committed to getting him more involved. While he has been efficient with a 4.8 rushing average across his last two games, he remains locked into a secondary change-of-pace role.
Our weekly projections expect around 21 rushing yards on four to five carries with negligible receiving volume (3.5 fantasy points). As home underdogs against the Rams, a potentially trailing script limits his path to meaningful touches. Currently rostered in 30% of leagues, Washington is an intriguing bench stash, but he belongs on fantasy benches this week.
