Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Ashton Jeanty

Tuesday, December 9, 12:17 AM

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.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has displayed his receiving ability in recent weeks, recording at least six receptions in three straight games. Jeanty has struggled to be efficient as a runner all season due to the Raiders' poor offensive line, but he's still found ways to deliver for fantasy managers. Since Week 9, the rookie first-rounder has recorded 70 carries for 190 yards and a touchdown to go with 28 receptions for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets. His 28 receptions during that span trail only Christian McCaffrey, and he ranks as the RB10 in that stretch with 16.3 PPR points per game. Jeanty will look to stay productive as a receiver in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos' stout defense. The rookie totaled 19 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown with three receptions (three targets) for five yards against them in Week 10, and he profiles as an upside RB2 in Week 14.
