Saquon Barkley News
Tuesday, June 9, 5:15 PM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been getting more work in the passing game than expected early in camp. During the first two minicamp sessions, Barkley looks to be taking on a larger role as a pass-catcher. Last season, Barkley hauled in 37 receptions for 273 receiving yards with two touchdowns through the air. Over the last five seasons, Barkley has only surpassed 50 receptions in a single season once. It seems possible that the Eagles want to limit his rushing reps and see him take on a larger role as a pass-catcher in the backfield. If that happens, Barkley could potentially see a rise in PPR fantasy value.

Elijah Mitchell News
Tuesday, December 23, 11:37 PM
The New England Patriots signed veteran free-agent running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mitchell quickly latches on with another team after the Kansas City Chiefs waived him last weekend. Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a concussion in Sunday night's win over the Baltimore Ravens and is in danger of missing the Week 17 game against the New York Jets, so the Pats will bring in Mitchell to give the team more RB depth at the end of the regular season. If Henderson doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol by this Sunday, Mitchell could be elevated to the active 53-man roster to serve as the RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and D'Ernest Johnson. Unless Stevenson also misses time with an injury, Mitchell is unlikely to become a major contributor in New England's offense. He was active for just one game with KC this year and didn't have a single rushing attempt.
