Saquon Barkley News
Sunday, November 8, 11:44 AM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recorded 13 carries for 22 yards and one touchdown in a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants in Week 9. The Giants' run defense, which entered Week 9 ranked 26th overall, held the star back to 1.7 yards per carry, his lowest game average since the 2023 season. Hamstring and back ailments have limited Barkley's impact this season as the Eagles endure a multitude of injuries, and the second-overall pick from the 2018 NFL Draft has recorded 56 carries for 274 yards and just two touchdowns in 2026. Barkley's job won't get any easier when the Eagles return from their Week 10 bye to face a sturdy Pittsburgh Steelers defense, making his bust performance in Week 9 sting even more for fantasy managers.

Ashton Jeanty News
Sunday, November 8, 3:55 PM
The poor 2026 campaign continues for Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty. He rushed six times for 25 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and caught five passes for a total of minus-five yards in a Week 9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The lack of rushing attempts likely had to do with the Raiders playing behind for most of the game, with the 49ers up 21-10 at halftime and then 28-10 to begin the third quarter after quarterback Kirk Cousins fumbled and San Francisco returned it for a touchdown. The positive for Jeanty is that he led Las Vegas' backfield in offensive snaps played with 32, while Mike Washington Jr. played just 17. In a Week 8 win over the New York Jets, Washington out-snapped Jeanty 38 to 25. Jeanty has been highly inefficient in 2026. Through nine games, Jeanty has rushed 114 times for 362 yards (3.2 yards per carry) and one touchdown, while adding 42 receptions for 371 yards (8.8 yards per catch) and three more touchdowns.
