Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Chig Okonkwo

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.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo was highly regarded by the fantasy community heading into the season. However, the 26-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations through the first five games of the 2025 campaign, catching 17 passes for 172 yards while failing to find the end zone. To be fair, Cam Ward hasn't played the best, resulting in below-average showings from Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley, among others. With Tennessee looking for a second-straight win, the team will head to Las Vegas for a meeting with the Raiders in Week 6. Although Okonkwo has a better chance of doing something meaningful for managers versus the struggling Raiders, his lack of production makes him hard to trust, even in multi-TE setups.
