Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Josh Jacobs

Friday, September 26, 4:36 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had his first down week of the season against the Rams, and looks to get back to his usual ways in an upcoming game against the Buccaneers. The last time Barkley faced Tampa he was kept at bay, unable to find the end zone and rushing for 84 yards in a loss. So far this season, the Bucs have the fifth-best run defense in the league, allowing just 84 yards per game and two total touchdowns through three weeks. Despite all this, Barkley is tied for the second-most attempts in the league (58) and can go off on any given week. He remains a top RB1 for Week 4.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries during Sunday's Week 4 tie with the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 71 receiving yards. Jacobs briefly exited with an injury but was on the field for most of the game, keeping the score close and ultimately helping the Packers get in position to tie the game as overtime ended. He now has the sixth-most fantasy points among running backs and will continue to rank as a fringe RB1 on the other side of Green Bay's bye week.
