Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Mason Crosby

Monday, March 11, 2:57 PM

Free-agent running back Saquon Barkley is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million deal. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money and has an additional $9 million available in incentives. After a 2018 rookie season that saw the former Penn State star go for over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns, he has struggled to stay healthy over a chunk of the next five years of his career. He missed 21 games from 2019 to 2021. He bounced back in 2022 with 1,312 rushing yards but regressed to 962 yards in 14 games in 2023. However, the Eagles believe in him as a game-changing running back, as his average salary ($12.58 million) ranks only below Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Jonathan Taylor. Although the Eagles' offensive line could take a hit after the retirement of Jason Kelce, Barkley should be playing behind the best offensive line of his career in 2024. He will have an immediate high-end RB1 upside in fantasy football.

New York Giants kicker Mason Crosby has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants are having some serious problems at kicker with Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) on the injured reserve and Cade York (quad) on the practice squad injured list. That being said, Crosby is likely to remain the team's kicker through the final two games of the regular season. He made his lone field goal attempt and both extra point chances during last week's game. He won't be a great streaming option given the offensive struggles of the Giants.
