The Eagles released RB Dameon Pierce.
Fantasy Impact
Pierce was released with an injury settlement.
The Eagles placed RB Dameon Pierce on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
Pierce becomes the latest Eagles running back to go down with an injury. He'll miss at least the next four weeks.
Dameon Pierce rushed the ball 14 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 38-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Pierce saw the most carries on the team on Monday night, with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) still having a limited workload in his return game. Barkley seems to have gotten banged up in this game as well, so if he's out next week, Pierce will prove to be startable in a lot of league formats in a matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night next week.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Dameon Pierce carried the ball 12 times for 35 yards and a score and caught four passes for 15 yards in a loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Pierce made his first start since 2023 with Houston. Saquon Barkley is recovering from a hamstring injury, and Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley are both on injured reserve, which could make Pierce the starter for another week or two. He is likely to be a touchdown-dependent FLEX option in an offense missing several pieces, though he dominated the backfield touches in Week 6.
Dameon Pierce gained 14 yards on 11 carries and netted negative yardage on two receptions in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
After Will Shipley (foot) exited Sunday's game early, Pierce took on more of the load than expected out of the Eagles' backfield. Pierce was making both his Eagles and regular-season debuts after being elevated this week. Pierce was unable to get much going against a stingy Jacksonville run defense. The beaten-up Philly backfield could get Saquon Barkley back for Week 6.
