Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Jake Ferguson

Wednesday, October 8, 6:33 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley tallied his lowest rushing yards count of the season against the Broncos, carrying the ball just six times for 30 yards. On the other hand, Barkley has the 10th-most receptions among RBs this year with 17, and added to that count by hauling in three catches for 58 yards and a touchdown versus Denver. In Week 6 he matches up with the Giants on Thursday Night Football, and New York allows the fifth-most fantasy points to RBs this season. When Barkley met the G-Men last year, he bulldozed them for 176 yards. Whether he has a good game running or a good game receiving, you can bet on #26 to have a good game. Barkley is a high-end RB1 against his division rival.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Ferguson has been excellent so far this season, ranking as the overall TE1 with his 41 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns through five games. He has continued to demonstrate a strong rapport with Dak Prescott, cementing himself as one of the top targets in an offense that racks up high yardage totals every week. The 26-year-old could be headed for another big outing on Sunday against the Panthers, who have allowed the most receiving yards and second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Ferguson should be started with confidence in all leagues.
