Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 yards and two touchdowns off 29 carries in Sunday's narrow loss to the Washington Commanders. Jalen Hurts (concussion) got hurt in the first quarter and didn't return. As a result, Barkley got a season-high 29 touches. Unfortunately, it didn't help, with the Eagles dropping their third game of the 2024-25 campaign. Philadelphia is already going to the playoffs. But if Hurts can't suit up against the Cowboys in Week 17, the former Nittany Lion could be in line for another monster performance.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley aims to rebound in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders after being held to just 65 rushing yards in last week's 27-13 win over the Steelers. The game marked Barkley's second-lowest rushing total of the season, snapping his streak of four consecutive 100-yard performances. Barkley also missed part of the second quarter with an undisclosed injury but returned to and finished the game. Washington's run defense presents an opportunity for Barkley to get back on track. The Commanders rank 25th in the league in rushing yards allowed per game (132.1) and have surrendered 13 rushing touchdowns this season. Barkley's ability to exploit favorable matchups makes him a strong RB1 candidate for fantasy managers looking ahead to this divisional showdown.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (undisclosed) missed a large chunk of the team's Week 15 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday but later returned to the contest. Barkley said he was "dealing with a little something" but didn't go into much further detail. "I'm not going to go too much into that, but the guys stepped up big, Kenny was able to make some big plays for us and I was able to tough it out," the star RB said. The league's leading rusher was looked at in the medical tent in the first half and was seen getting work on his right leg before returning in the second half. The 27-year-old did have a healthy 19 carries but gained only 65 rushing yards while adding two catches for nine yards. It was a disappointing performance from the fantasy MVP in 2024, and fantasy managers that were lucky enough to advance will be hoping Barkley will be ready in Week 16 against the Commanders.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's intrastate battle with the Steelers. The back had 31 yards off seven carries. However, he exited the contest to be evaluated in the blue medical tent before remaining on the sidelines. Of course, fantasy managers were concerned. Fortunately, he's back in, although his health will be a major topic of discussion for the remainder of this contest and heading into the Week 16 matchup versus the Commanders.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (undisclosed) was examined in the blue medical tent during Sunday's meeting with the Steelers. While the team hasn't released an official injury designation, he hasn't returned to the game. Without question, fantasy managers are concerned, especially since he's been a top fantasy producer throughout the 2024-25 campaign. If Barkley doesn't return, he'll finish with 31 yards off seven carries, with Kenneth Gainwell in line for more opportunities out of the backfield.
