Saquon Barkley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley took 22 carries for 95 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old had a great performance throughout the contest but had a costly drop on 3rd and 3 that would have sealed the win for the Eagles. Despite that blunder, Barkley was a fantasy stud again without finding the end zone this week. With none of the other backs ever really getting involved and star wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) set to miss a few more games, Barkley is set up to be a top-five option again in Week 3 as the Eagles will take on the New Orleans Saints.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will face off against the Atlanta Falcons in his first home game as an Eagle on Monday night. The star running back put any doubts that fantasy managers had to rest last week when he found the end zone three times against a solid Green Bay defense. He now faces an Atlanta defense that held the combo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren out of the end zone last week and kept them each to just 3.5 yards per carry. There should be no reason to expect a scaled-back workload this week, especially if star receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is ruled out or is played at less than 100%. Fire up Barkley with confidence as a high-end RB1 heading into Monday night.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a stellar showing in the 34-29 win over the Packers in Brazil. Making his debut with the Eagles on Friday night, Barkley ran the ball 24 times, amassing 109 yards while finding the end zone twice. It didn't end there, with the former Giant catching both targets for 23 yards and a touchdown. The veteran signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles this offseason after spending his entire career with the Giants. His talent has never been questioned. However, he'll need to stay healthy, which has been an issue in the past. With a win in the books, the Eagles will fly home for some rest before preparing for a Week 2 Monday Night Football showdown with the Atlanta Falcons. As always, Barkley would is considered a must-start in all fantasy formats for that one.
