Dameon Pierce News
Thursday, March 19, 8:36 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Dameon Pierce. The 26-year-old was originally drafted in the fourth round (107th overall) by the Houston Texans in 2022 out of the University of Florida. He had 1,648 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 405 rushing attempts in his first three years in the league with Houston before spending 2025 with Houston and the Kansas City Chiefs. Pierce saw only 14 rushing attempts last year for 36 yards. He has not been able to replicate his rookie season in 2022, when he ran for 939 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 220 rushing attempts. In Philly, Pierce will compete for the RB3 duties with Will Shipley, behind starter Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. For now, he remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Chris Brooks News
Tuesday, July 14, 5:12 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks saw his value skyrocket over the summer. Normally, Brooks is an afterthought in the Packers' backfield, but he could become a consistent contributor this season. Lead back Josh Jacobs got into some legal trouble, and his status is still unclear at the moment. If Jacobs does get suspended, MarShawn Lloyd and Brooks would be in line for larger roles in the backfield. Brooks didn't see much of the field last season, rushing for 106 yards on 27 carries with Green Bay. He remains the most trustworthy option between the two, with Lloyd only having six carries to his name in two years. If something happens to Jacobs, Brooks could become the starter in the short term. Otherwise, Brooks isn't a bad stash for dynasty managers as Jacobs' handcuff.
