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.

DK Metcalf's Fantasy Value Takes Another Hit in Week 2

Sunday, September 20, 3:06 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf secured four of his nine targets for 27 yards in a 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots. Metcalf wasn't the only Steeler to struggle on Sunday, but his performance unfortunately stood out for the wrong reasons, as he had multiple drops in the second half. Through two games this season, Metcalf has been the clear favorite target of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Still, he was unable to capitalize on a significant opportunity with Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) sidelined and was out-produced by rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard and third-year pro Roman Wilson. Until the Steelers' offense shows signs of life, Metcalf will be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups. He'll look to get back on track in Week 3 against a surging Cincinnati Bengals defense.
