Fantasy Life Articles on Dameon Pierce
From the article
On the one hand, No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is uncertain. Nos. 2-3 RBs Will Shipley (foot, IR) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR) are out. And depth FB/RB Carson Steele (shoulder) exited last week with an injury. Amidst all this backfield chaos, Pierce has emerged as the team's top back (88% snap rate, 74 Utilization Score). On the other hand, Pierce has failed to capitalize on his opportunity so far (7.6 fantasy points per game, 62 yards, 1 TD on 23 carries, 10 targets). But the Cowboys are No. 3 in largest fantasy boost allowed to RBs (+4.1) and on their fifth away game in seven weeks, whereas the Eagles are on their third home game in four weeks. On top of that, the Cowboys could be without LBs Dee Winters (ankle) and DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring). This might be the most disgusting thing I ever say: I'd consider starting Pierce in Guillotine LeaguesTM this week.
STACKED’s take
Pierce emerges as Eagles' lead back; Cowboys rank 3rd in RB fantasy boost allowed.
Pierce is upgraded against the Cowboys despite a mixed situation. No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is uncertain; Nos. 2-3 RBs Will Shipley (foot, IR) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR) are out; depth FB/RB Carson Steele (shoulder) exited last week with injury. Pierce has emerged as the team's top back (88% snap rate, 74 Utilization Score) but has failed to capitalize so far (7.6 fantasy points per game, 62 yards, 1 TD on 23 carries, 10 targets). However, the Cowboys rank No. 3 in largest fantasy boost allowed to RBs (+4.1) and are on their fifth away game in seven weeks, while the Eagles are on their third home game in four weeks. Cowboys could be without LBs Dee Winters (ankle) and DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring). The source says: 'I'd consider starting Pierce in Guillotine Leagues this week.'
