Saquon Barkley to Get MRI After Stinger in Week 2

Sunday, September 20, 1:11 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) said he will get an MRI and "know more in the future" after being injured on Sunday in a 24-20 win against the Tennessee Titans, ESPN's Tim McManus reported via the X platform. Barkley left after his first carry of the game and was questionable to return, although he took to the field for the Eagles' first drive of the second half. He ended the day with just four carries for nine yards. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley led the backfield in Sunday's road tilt in Barkley's absence, with Bigsby recording 13 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown.

David Montgomery Is a Solid RB2 in Week 2

Saturday, September 19, 3:04 AM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery had a huge debut for the Texans with three touchdowns, 60 rushing yards, and 19 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Bills. This week, he'll look to keep rolling against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Texans may have to rely even more on the run game in the absence of WR Nico Collins (hamstring). Montgomery actually played one snap fewer than Woody Marks, but got 23 touches compared to just 10 for Marks. Montgomery also got all six RB opportunities in the red zone, making him the much stronger fantasy option. This week, he's the No. 15 RB and the No. 21 overall player in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a very strong RB2 with a good ceiling since he is lined up for such a significant workload.
