Saquon Barkley Seeking an Uptick in Touches Against Vikings

Friday, October 17, 8:11 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had his second-lowest total yard count (67) of the season last week against the Giants and will look to bounce back this Sunday against the Vikings. Barkley has also seen less touches recently, with his two lowest rush attempt tallies coming in the last two weeks. On the bright side, Minnesota has the ninth-worst run defense in the league, allowing an average of 132.2 yards per game. And with Philly losing each of their last two contests, they could very well turn back to their superstar RB to rely on for production. View Barkley as a bonafide RB1 once again in Week 7.

Elic Ayomanor Headed for Top Wide Receiver Role in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 9:21 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is expected to handle an increased workload against the New England Patriots in Week 7 after Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was ruled out for the contest. Ridley missed most of last week's game, too, and Ayomanor benefited, catching three passes for 27 yards on a season-high 93 percent snap share. The catch total was nothing special, but that large snap share indicates that Ayomanor is on the field for almost every play, and that his target share should start to increase as a result. The Patriots have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, leaving Ayomanor in the WR3/flex range.
