Dameon Pierce vs. Cowboys — Flex Viability Hinges on Saquon Barkley's Status

With Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on injured reserve, Pierce has capitalized on recent backfield opportunities, logging 23 carries and six catches over his last two games. However, his Week 7 workload is heavily clouded by Saquon Barkley practicing in a limited capacity with a hamstring injury. With Tanner McKee under center, Philadelphia will look to establish the run against Dallas.

If Barkley is inactive, our projections forecast Pierce for roughly 14 carries, 66 total yards, and 10.6 fantasy points, placing him squarely in the flex conversation. Conversely, if Barkley plays, Pierce's start percentage—sitting at 18%—justifies leaving him on the bench, as he would revert to a touchdown-dependent backup.
