Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or De'Von Achane

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) "seems confident" that he'll be able to play in the team's next game during Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. Barkley injured his groin on the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Giants. He didn't return to the game, but the decision to hold him out may have been precautionary since Philadelphia led by three scores at the time. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye, so Barkley will get 15 days to rest and recover before facing the Packers. His 174 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on Sunday will vault him back into RB1 territory going forward.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains one of the few players from his team who can be relied on for fantasy football purposes. This week, he and the Dolphins are visiting the Falcons after taking a 31-6 beating last week in Cleveland. Achane still had a decent game in the loss, producing 82 rushing yards on 13 carries and adding three catches for 16 receiving yards. He didn't get into the end zone, but he still has six total touchdowns in his seven games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone against the Falcons, who rank in the middle of the pack against running backs. They did give up two touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey last week, and Achane is very involved as both a rusher and receiver, giving him a high ceiling as this week's No. 5 RB in RotoBaller's rankings.
