Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Myles Gaskin

Saturday, September 13, 12:47 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley tied for the sixth-most rushing attempts in the league last week (18), once again proving that he has one of the most reliably-heavy workloads in the NFL. He also made PPR managers happy with his four receptions on five targets-both good for second-most on the team. In Week 2 Barkley faces a Chiefs defense that held Omarion Hampton to just 48 yards on 15 attempts last Friday, but that was a rookie, and this is Saquon Barkley. After leading Philly in targets and receptions in their last meeting against Kansas City in the Super Bowl, expect Barkley to have a prominent role in the passing game again this week. He's a top-tier RB1 as per usual.

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent running back Myles Gaskin on Saturday. Gaskin worked out with the team this weekend and apparently impressed enough to earn himself a deal with the organization. The 28-year-old figures to be a depth option during training camp. He'll compete with Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali for a backup spot behind Derrick Henry. Gaskin has bounced around the league quite a bit over the last few years. He hasn't played much since the 2021 season with the Miami Dolphins. Possibly, Gaskin will catch on as a depth option, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy value.
