Saquon Barkley Held to 22 Yards in Week 9 Loss

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.

Chuba Hubbard Sees Fewer Touches in Week 9 Loss

Sunday, November 8, 1:23 PM

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has been a workhorse back for this team throughout most of the season. Hubbard took a step back during Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. He carried the ball 16 times for 79 yards, while hauling in four of his five targets for 17 yards through the air in the loss. The 16 carries were the second fewest for Hubbard since Week 2. It was mainly because of the game script and not due to performance. Hubbard averaged nearly five yards per carry, so he was having success on the ground. Fantasy managers should expect Hubbard to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10.
