Will Saquon Barkley Play in Week 4? (2023 Fantasy Football)

Week 4 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.

Saquon Barkley racked up a rushing and receiving touchdown in the first two games of the season before suffering a high-ankle sprain. There is some hope he might play Monday night against Seattle, but he was limited in practice all week. Will Saquon Barkley play in Week 4? Here’s the latest.

Fantasy Impact

Barkley has logged a limited practice time in each session as he recovers from a high-ankle sprain. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his injury designation heading into a matchup with Seattle.

What the Experts Are Saying

TBD. Lean towards sitting. The extra day does help, and Saquon has a history of returning quickly. But even factoring that in, our algorithm still rates him a 2/3 chance of sitting. If he does play, expect limitations in workload and efficiency, as well as high re-injury risk.
