Saquon Barkley Demolishes Former Team

Sunday, October 20, 8:18 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley took 17 carries for 176 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 11 yards during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. The former No. 2 overall pick was stifled on the first carry of the game to a roar of cheers, and then hit stick a Giants defender two plays later. This was the start to a massive performance with multiple runs of over 20 yards against a solid Giants defensive line. Barkley was a man on a mission this week, and he will likely end the week as the No. 1 back in fantasy. With that load off his back, he will look to have another successful outing next week when the Eagles travel to Cincinnati to play Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Travis Etienne Jr. Considered "Day-To-Day"

Wednesday, October 23, 12:25 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is still "day-to-day" with a hamstring injury as the team prepares for a Week 8 tilt against the visiting Green Bay Packers this Sunday. Etienne will do individual drills in practice on Wednesday and will then work with trainers, which means he's likely to be listed as limited on the practice report. The 25-year-old was listed as week-to-week last week and did not play in London in the win over the New England Patriots. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks in practice this week, there's a good chance Etienne will rejoin Jacksonville's backfield this weekend. However, with Tank Bigsby continuing to produce -- he had two more touchdowns in Week 7 -- Etienne might be more of a change-of-pace option for the Jags instead of their leading ball-carrier.
