Dameon Pierce News

Dameon Pierce is Interesting Streaming Option

Saturday, October 17, 5:37 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Dameon Pierce will get the start in the backfield during Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Pierce will be forced to start due to Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Will Shipley (foot) both being out for this game. Last week, Pierce rushed 11 times for 14 yards during the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The hope is that Pierce has better results against the Panthers' defense, which has struggled to stop the rushing game. They've allowed 156.5 rushing yards per game, which is the second-most in the NFL right now. Fantasy managers looking for help at running back should consider streaming Pierce this weekend.
