Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Rachaad White

Friday, October 3, 7:07 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has failed to eclipse 50 rushing yards in each of his last two games, and will face another hurdle this Sunday against the Broncos. Denver is allowing 99.3 rushing yards per game this season-just one of 11 teams to average under 100. They also stifled Bengals RB Chase Brown on Monday, keeping him to 40 yards on 10 carries with his longest attempt going for six yards. However, Philly does have a much stronger offensive line than Cincinnati does, and Barkley averages more yards per carry (3.1) than Brown (2.3). Even with a couple things going against him, Barkley remains a definitive RB1 for Week 5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will move into the lead back role for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Bucs will be without Bucky Irving (foot) for at least Sunday's game, but possibly longer. That being said, White will get a chance to make an impact after a slow start to the season. Through four games, White has rushed the ball 23 times for 108 yards with one touchdown while hauling in eight receptions for an additional 34 yards through the air. At times, White has shown the ability to be a capable dual-threat back. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Seattle defense this weekend. White should see enough touches to be able to provide flex value for Week 5.
