Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley set his season high for attempts last week against the Lions, carrying the ball 26 times for 83 yards. Given the opportunities, it wasn't a very productive game for Barkley and he'll try to turn things around this weekend against the Cowboys. One of his four rushing touchdowns this season came against Dallas in Week 1-a game where he also accounted for four catches and 84 total yards. The Cowboys have had trouble stopping the run this year, allowing 11 touchdowns through 10 games as well as giving up an average of 131.4 yards on the ground in those contests. They also allow the fifth-most fantasy points to RBs. The Eagles clearly trust Barkley to handle heavy workloads at this point in the season, giving him 62 rush attempts over the last three games, which should make managers optimistic about possible boom performances going forward. Consider him a solid RB1 in Week 12.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley set his season high for touches in a game last week against the Packers, carrying the ball four times and hauling in two catches. This resulted in 34 total yards, which is also his best in a single game this year. Philly's backfield has been tough to keep track of through the first 10 weeks, as Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon have rotated between the lead backup role behind Saquon Barkley. While Bigsby shined with over 100 rushing yards in Week 8, he got only 12.7% of offensive snaps against Green Bay compared to Shipley's 19%. Regardless of who gets the bulk going forward, Shipley is best left out of lineups this week against the Lions and should be rostered as a handcuff at best.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has gone without a rushing touchdown in four of his last five games after Monday's 10-7 victory over the Packers. For a low-scoring game, however, Barkley did manage a decent fantasy outing with three catches for 41 yards and matched his season-high carry count with 22. On Sunday, he is faced with a Lions defense that allows the second-least amount of fantasy points to RBs this season, giving up just seven scores on the ground through nine games. In a game where the Eagles may need to play catch-up against a powerful Detroit offense, Barkley could also be in for less attempts if Philly has to rely on the passing game. While it's an uphill battle, he is the type of player that can dominate a game in any given week. Start Barkley as a solid RB1, but temper expectations ever so slightly.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recorded 22 carries for 60 yards and added three receptions (three targets) for 41 yards in Monday night's 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. It was a struggle for Barkley and the Philadelphia offense all night, as he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, and even his 41 receiving yards came entirely on one reception. It was a disappointing performance for the 28-year-old after having his best game of the season before the bye in Week 8 against the Giants, totaling 174 yards and two touchdowns. He did tweak his groin in that game, but was cleared from the injury report earlier this week. Barkley has already posted five games with fewer than four yards per carry this season after having just two such games all of last season. His involvement as a receiver this season has at least helped offset the lack of breakaway runs, with 27 receptions through nine games compared to 33 in 16 games last year. Barkley will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) is off the final injury report and is set to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barkley practiced in full every day this week after tweaking his groin during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the New York Giants, but had the bye week to recover and won't miss any time to the injury. Fantasy managers can exhale with the positive news regarding the Eagles' star running back, who is coming off easily his best performance of the season, rushing for 150 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and adding four catches (five targets) for 24 yards as a receiver. Barkley will look to build on the strong performance in Week 10 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has struggled to defend the run since their Week 5 bye, ranking 25th in rushing success rate. Barkley is a rock-solid RB1 for Monday Night Football.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was a full participant at practice on Friday and seems fully ready for Monday's game against the Packers. Before exiting in the second half of his last outing, Barkley outran the Giants defense for a 65-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage and finished with 174 total yards. This week, he'll face the fifth-best run defense in the league, as Green Bay lets up an average of 89.4 yards per game on the ground. Barkley has met with two other top-10 run defenses so far this year-the Broncos and the Buccaneers-and averaged 36.5 yards per game in those contests. While the inability to get going in those matchups combined with the recent injury are daunting, Philly's star back is coming off of his best performance of the season and an extra week of rest. Still consider Barkley a reliable RB1 for Week 10.
Nov 7, 2025 10:34 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice. Barkley was forced to leave the Week 8 win against the New York Giants late in the third quarter, but not before galloping for 150 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries while adding four catches for 24 yards and another trip to paydirt. The Eagles' bye in Week 9 definitely came at a good time, and it appears that Barkley should be ready to roll by Monday night for the team's Week 10 contest against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Barkley's performance in Week 8 was his first 100-yard rushing game of the year, and fantasy managers will be hoping he can keep that momentum after having a week off. Overall, Barkley has averaged only 4.1 yards per carry after averaging 5.8 yards per tote in 2024 on his way to Offensive Player of the Year honors.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) is taking part in the team's first practice of the week coming off their bye on Thursday, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Barkley was forced to leave the team's Week 8 win over the New York Giants in the third quarter due to a groin injury, but after the game, the 28-year-old was confident that he'd be ready to roll following the Week 9 bye. The fact that Barkley is practicing on Thursday is a good sign that he'll be ready to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 10, but we'll continue to monitor his status closely in the coming days. Barkley hasn't been nearly as good this year as he was in his first year in Philly in 2024, but he remains a must-start in all fantasy lineups when he's healthy. He had 18 touches for 174 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in Week 8 before suffering his groin injury.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) "seems confident" that he'll be able to play in the team's next game during Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. Barkley injured his groin on the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Giants. He didn't return to the game, but the decision to hold him out may have been precautionary since Philadelphia led by three scores at the time. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye, so Barkley will get 15 days to rest and recover before facing the Packers. His 174 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on Sunday will vault him back into RB1 territory going forward.
Oct 26, 2025 5:27 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New York Giants. He was taken into the blue medical tent for further evaluation, and the team is now listing him as questionable to return. The Eagles may be keeping Barkley off the field as a precaution because they lead by three possessions in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. If his day is indeed done, he will finish with 14 carries, 150 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown, as well as four catches, 24 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. This easily goes down as Barkley's best game of the year, getting him back on track after ranking as the overall RB14 (PPR) through the first seven weeks. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye and don't play again until Nov. 10 against the Packers, giving Barkley a full 15 days to rest and recover before his next game. In the event that he still can't suit up coming out of the bye, Tank Bigbsy would be in line to lead Philadelphia's backfield.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has had his two worst fantasy performances of the season in his last two appearances, having failed to find the end zone since Week 5. Barkley got back to his high-usage ways last week against the Vikings, but was stifled to just 42 total yards on 19 touches. This weekend the Giants visit Philly, and while he had trouble finding much momentum the last time these teams faced off in Week 6, that can partly be attributed to the Eagles having to play much of that game from behind. The Giants allow 125.1 rushing yards per game (11th-most in the league), and it feels unlikely for Barkley to have two busts in the same season against his former team. Despite his rough patch, he still gets more than enough looks to be considered a solid RB1 in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2025 10:46 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had his second-lowest total yard count (67) of the season last week against the Giants and will look to bounce back this Sunday against the Vikings. Barkley has also seen less touches recently, with his two lowest rush attempt tallies coming in the last two weeks. On the bright side, Minnesota has the ninth-worst run defense in the league, allowing an average of 132.2 yards per game. And with Philly losing each of their last two contests, they could very well turn back to their superstar RB to rely on for production. View Barkley as a bonafide RB1 once again in Week 7.
Oct 17, 2025 8:11 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley tallied his lowest rushing yards count of the season against the Broncos, carrying the ball just six times for 30 yards. On the other hand, Barkley has the 10th-most receptions among RBs this year with 17, and added to that count by hauling in three catches for 58 yards and a touchdown versus Denver. In Week 6 he matches up with the Giants on Thursday Night Football, and New York allows the fifth-most fantasy points to RBs this season. When Barkley met the G-Men last year, he bulldozed them for 176 yards. Whether he has a good game running or a good game receiving, you can bet on #26 to have a good game. Barkley is a high-end RB1 against his division rival.
Oct 8, 2025 6:33 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday, clearing him for Thursday night's matchup against his former team. In his lone meeting with the Giants last season, Barkley exploded for 187 total yards and a touchdown on 19 touches. The Eagles are expected to feature him early and often as they look to establish the run against a defense that has struggled to contain opposing backs. Barkley has yet to surpass 100 rushing yards in a game this season, but his recent health progress and familiarity with the Giants' defensive scheme could set the stage for a long-awaited breakout performance. Fantasy managers should confidently keep him locked into lineups for Week 6.
Oct 8, 2025 2:37 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was upgraded to a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barkley came out of Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos with some general knee soreness and was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, leaving some doubt about his Week 6 status for Thursday night's divisional clash against the New York Giants. The 28-year-old is expected to suit up on a short week against his former team, and fantasy managers are hoping that he'll have a much bigger workload in a strong matchup. In the 21-17 loss to Denver in Week 5, Barkley saw a season-low usage with just nine touches for 88 yards. He salvaged his fantasy day by finding the end zone on a long reception. Barkley's knee shouldn't be an issue for Thursday's revenge game.
Oct 7, 2025 6:50 PM EST
The Philadelphia Eagles listed running back Saquon Barkley (knee) as a non-participant on their estimated injury report on Monday due to a knee injury, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. NFL insider Ian Rapoport is reporting that Barkley had general soreness in his knee coming out of Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, but he fully expects to play on Thursday night against his former team, the New York Giants. It explains why Barkley's volume was so low in Week 5 -- he had a season-low six carries for 30 yards and caught all three of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown. Last year's rushing leader remains a must-start in fantasy when he's active, but there's certainly the potential for him to see a smaller workload again on a short week against the Giants. The good news is that Barkley averaged 5.0 yards per carry on Sunday after being under 3.0 yards a carry in the previous two games.
Oct 6, 2025 6:25 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley wasn't a big part of the game plan in the team's first loss of the season on Sunday against the visiting Denver Broncos in Week 5. Barkley had only six rushing attempts for 30 yards on the ground, but he salvaged his day for fantasy managers with three catches (three targets) for an additional 58 yards and a 47-yard receiving touchdown, his first receiving score of the year. It was some concerning usage for Barkley in a game that the Eagles led by multiple scores late into the second half. Barkley's previous low this year for rushing attempts has been 18. Perhaps it's all part of Philly's plan as they head into a short turnaround in Week 6 in a divisional clash against Barkley's former team, the New York Giants. If the 28-year-old isn't used as more of a bell-cow back in that one, fantasy managers will be even more worried.
Oct 5, 2025 11:34 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has failed to eclipse 50 rushing yards in each of his last two games, and will face another hurdle this Sunday against the Broncos. Denver is allowing 99.3 rushing yards per game this season-just one of 11 teams to average under 100. They also stifled Bengals RB Chase Brown on Monday, keeping him to 40 yards on 10 carries with his longest attempt going for six yards. However, Philly does have a much stronger offensive line than Cincinnati does, and Barkley averages more yards per carry (3.1) than Brown (2.3). Even with a couple things going against him, Barkley remains a definitive RB1 for Week 5.
Oct 3, 2025 7:07 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had his first down week of the season against the Rams, and looks to get back to his usual ways in an upcoming game against the Buccaneers. The last time Barkley faced Tampa he was kept at bay, unable to find the end zone and rushing for 84 yards in a loss. So far this season, the Bucs have the fifth-best run defense in the league, allowing just 84 yards per game and two total touchdowns through three weeks. Despite all this, Barkley is tied for the second-most attempts in the league (58) and can go off on any given week. He remains a top RB1 for Week 4.
Sep 26, 2025 4:36 PM EST
The last time the Eagles met the Rams was in November of 2024, when Saquon Barkley ran for 255 yards and two touchdowns and caught the ball four times for 47 yards. So, fantasy managers should be salivating at Philadelphia's upcoming matchup against Los Angeles in Week 3. The Rams have a below-average run defense this season as well, allowing 111.5 yards per game on the ground through their first pair of contests. There's never a doubt about Barkley being an RB1, but for this week especially, he should be counted on as a top fantasy asset.
