Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Cade Otton

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton finally was able to do some damage on the field last week. Otton hauled in four of his five targets for 81 yards during last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Before that, Otton was held to six receptions for 34 yards during the first four games. Recently, Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said the team wants to get Otton more involved. The Bucs are going to be without wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (leg) for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. That should mean that Otton sees more targets coming his way. All things are pointing to Otton getting more chances, so he should offer TE2 value in Week 6.
