Saquon Barkley Fantasy Overview

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring, back) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Commanders on Sunday night. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and, if last week is any indication, won’t be close to 100% for this one. Barkley wound up playing just 10 snaps last week, although he got 9 touches and took them for 71 yards and a TD. He’s a risk/reward Week 8 fantasy start. Check your Team Dashboard to see if he belongs in your starting lineup.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring, back) did not practice on Wednesday. He claims his hamstring came out of Monday night's game fine, but it's still on the injury report. And Barkley tweaked his back compensating for the hamstring. We'd consider him iffy for Sunday night's game vs. the Commanders. The Eagles placed RB Dameon Pierce on IR earlier today, leaving Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue behind Barkley. Mitchell would be the fantasy flier if Barkley doesn't play against Washington.

If you watched Monday night's Eagles-Cowboys game, then you probably saw a wincing Saquon Barkley more than once. Philly's starting RB played just 10 snaps, logging 7 carries and 2 catches on 2 targets while working through his hamstring issue as well as a new back injury. Barkley said after the game, though, that neither injury should be a big deal. He said the "hamstring came out great," according to ESPN's Tim McManus, and that he doesn't expect the back problem to cost him further time.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley came into Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys questionable with a hamstring injury. He was noticeably hobbled from his very first touch of the game. Barkley played limited snaps but touched the ball most times he was on the field. He totaled 71 yards and a score. But his last touch came late in the third quarter, when Barkley was deemed questionable to return with a back injury. So that's two ailments he's dealing with ahead of a short week. Consider Barkley iffy at best for Sunday's game vs. the Commanders. We'll keep you updated on his status. Philadelphia also lost RB Dameon Pierce to an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter of tonight's game, leaving Elijah Mitchell as the team's last healthy RB. RB Tank Bigsby isn't eligible to return until Week 9, while RB Will Shipley is out until Week 11.
