Saquon Barkley "Unlikely" to Play in Week 5

Monday, October 5, 5:18 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is "unlikely" to play in his team's Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Barkley suffered a hamstring injury during Philly's Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and is considered week-to-week. The Eagles also lost top backup running back Tank Bigsby (core) in Week 4, as he suffered a core muscle injury and has been placed on Injured Reserve. Without Barkley and Bigsby against Jacksonville, Eagles RB3 Will Shipley appears likely to be the team's lead back. McLane also notes running backs Dameon Pierce, Jaydon Blue, and Carson Steele are all on the Eagles' practice squad and could be candidates for elevation to the active roster in Week 5.

J.K. Dobbins Faces Tough Matchup vs. 49ers

Saturday, October 3, 3:54 AM

After some tough sledding during a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins faces another tough matchup in Week 4. The Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a team that has limited its opponents to -0.13 EPA per rush, which is tied for 11th-best in the NFL. This past week, Dobbins managed just 49 yards rushing on 17 carries against the Rams, adding one catch for four yards on two targets. The 49ers allowed Arizona Cardinals starting running back Jeremiyah Love to record 90 yards rushing on 21 carries in Week 3, but held the Cardinals as a team to just 3.4 yards per tote. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 30th-ranked running back and is projected to score nine fantasy points against San Francisco.
