Saquon Barkley Faces a Weak Raiders Run Defense in Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley broke free for a 52-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of last week's game against the Chargers, finally snapping his four-game scoreless streak. This play also boosted him to his second-highest rushing yards count in a game this season with 122, his second time surpassing 100 yards on the ground. He'll try to carry this momentum into Week 15's matchup with the Raiders, who allow the ninth-most fantasy points to RBs in the league. Las Vegas is also tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns given up this year, letting up 18 scores to runners over 13 games. While he has left some to be desired in the passing game lately, Barkley is primed to find the end zone this weekend, which should make up for any lack of catches. Consider him a low-end RB1.

Saquon Barkley Rips Off Long Touchdown Run in Monday Night Loss

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley handled 20 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown while adding zero catches on two targets in Monday night's 22-19 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Barkley scored the only touchdown of the night for the Eagles on a 52-yard run to begin the fourth quarter. The star running back notched his second 100-yard outing and second-longest run of the season on Monday night, with both previous marks coming back in Week 8 against his former team, the New York Giants. The 28-year-old has been disappointing for fantasy managers who spent an early first-round pick on him, but he'll look to build on this performance for the rest of the season with several favorable matchups on deck. Next up will be a home date in Week 15 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

Saquon Barkley Looking to Snap Scoreless Streak

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has now gone four straight games without a touchdown, which is his longest scoring drought since 2021. Barkley has also seen a dip in usage over the last couple of weeks, averaging 11.5 carries in his last two outings compared to the 20 he was averaging in Weeks 7-11. Although, this could be chalked up to Philly having to play from behind in their recent back-to-back losses. In Week 14, Barkley faces off against a Chargers defense that allows 106.9 rushing yards per game and has given up 14 touchdowns on the ground through 12 games. It's no daunting matchup, and the reigning Offensive Player of the Year is due for a boom game. As long as the Eagles don't find themselves in too big of a hole in this contest-which they shouldn't-bank on Barkley to find his footing again despite the rough patch. He's a low-end RB1 this week.

Tank Bigsby Could Shine with Saquon Barkley Dinged Up

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could get his breakout moment this Friday if Saquon Barkley (groin) is unable to suit up. Bigsby is the only Philly RB besides Barkley to get any carries in the last two weeks, and would likely get his number called as the next man up should the Eagles' primary backfield option miss the game against Chicago. While the former Jaguar hasn't seen a ton of action since being traded to Philadelphia earlier this season, he has shown promise with his limited opportunities. In 10 games, Bigsby has carried the ball 18 times for 164 yards for an average of 9.1 yards per carry. The Eagles offensive live is always going to be a huge benefactor to whoever gets the handoffs, and fellow RB Will Shipley would probably be used more in the passing game. If he does get the starting nod, Bigsby should be seen as at least a mid-level RB2 against a Bears defense allowing the 14th-most fantasy points to RBs.

Saquon Barkley Primed for Bounce Back After Uncharacteristic Week?

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Barkley had his worst performance on the ground so far this season last week in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with 22 yards on 10 attempts. Luckily for fantasy managers, he was able to find success in the passing game by catching seven balls for 52 yards, further proving how he can be efficient in more ways than one. Barkley shouldn't have the same run struggles on Friday as he faces a lackluster Bears defense allowing 138.1 rushing yards per game this year. Philly's offense fell stagnant in the second half against Dallas and is unlikely to do the same in what will be a hotly contested battle atop the NFC. Expect Barkley to get back to around 20 carries and be far more productive running the ball this week, and probably get a decent amount of targets through the air as well. His injury on a short week is something to keep an eye on, but if he's good to go he's a solid RB1.

Saquon Barkley Limited Again on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, according to the team's official website. For the second straight day, Barkley was a limited participant as he manages a groin injury that he initially tweaked during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the New York Giants. The star running back hasn't missed any time because of the injury, but it's something that he and the team are managing on a short practice week as the Eagles host the Chicago Bears on Black Friday. Barkley should be good to go for that game and could clear the injury report by Thursday. It's been a disappointing season for the 28-year-old after his historic 2024 campaign, and he is coming off his worst rushing performance of the season in Week 12 against the Cowboys, rushing for just 22 yards on 10 carries, but added seven catches (eight targets) for 52 yards as a receiver. Tank Bigsby would be in line for a bigger role if Barkley were to miss Friday's matchup.

Saquon Barkley Limited With Groin Injury on Tuesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was limited in Tuesday's practice due to a groin injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Barkley originally tweaked his groin in Week 8 against the New York Giants, but he hasn't missed any time because of it. The Eagles are likely just managing the injury and being cautious on a short week with the team facing the Chicago Bears on Black Friday in Week 13. Barkley still has two more days to return to a full practice, so he could be removed from the final injury report by Thursday. The 28-year-old has disappointed in 2025 in comparison to his monster 2024 campaign. Barkley had only 10 carries for 22 yards in the Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys after seeing 20-plus carries in each of the previous two games. He salvaged his fantasy line, though, with a season-high seven catches for 52 yards on eight targets. If Barkley were to miss Friday's game, Tank Bigsby would likely see most of Philly's backfield touches.

Saquon Barkley Has Serious Boom Potential in Week 12

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.

Will Shipley Could be the New Saquon Barkley Understudy

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.

Saquon Barkley Has Challenging Matchup Against Lions

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.

Saquon Barkley Totals 91 Yards in Monday Night Win Over Packers

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.

Saquon Barkley Cleared From Final Injury Report, Good To Go For Monday

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.

Saquon Barkley Back From Injury to Face Strong Packers Defense

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.

Saquon Barkley Practicing in Full Coming Out of Bye Week

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.

Saquon Barkley Practicing on Thursday

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.

Saquon Barkley Seems Confident He Will Play in Week 10

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.

Saquon Barkley Questionable to Return Against Giants in Week 8

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.

Saquon Barkley Trying to Snap Cold Streak Against Giants

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.

Saquon Barkley Seeking an Uptick in Touches Against Vikings

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


Saquon Barkley is a Must-Start in Week 6

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.
