Saquon Barkley is a Must-Start in Week 6

Wednesday, October 8, 6:33 PM

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.

Bucky Irving Still Sidelined With Shoulder and Ankle Injuries

Wednesday, October 8, 2:11 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, ankle) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, putting his Week 6 status in serious doubt. He has now missed multiple sessions as he continues to recover from lingering injuries, leaving the Buccaneers to rely heavily on Rachaad White. White carried the load last week with 14 rushes for 41 yards and two touchdowns and should once again operate as the primary option against the 49ers. San Francisco's defense ranks 17th against the run, giving Tampa Bay a favorable matchup to continue establishing the run. Irving's absence limits his short-term fantasy outlook, but managers should keep him stashed in hopes of a potential return for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Lions.
