Fantasy Impact:
Barkley had a false positive COVID-19 test and returned to the team's facility on Friday. He could not practice due to his injured ankle and is expected to be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders. It will be his fourth consecutive game that Barkley will be sidelined. Devontae Booker has been solid filling in for Barkley over the last four games. He rushed for 194 yards on 54 attempts and two touchdowns while catching 14 passes for 124 yards and a score during that span. The Raiders allow 19.4 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, ranking 26th overall. Booker is a solid RB2 and currently 19th among all running backs in the latest FantasyPros expert consensus rankings.
