Saquon Barkley
RB - Philadelphia Eagles
Availability
The Eagles may sit RB Saquon Barkley in Week 18 against the Commanders.
Fantasy Impact
Philadelphia is expected to rest its starters in Week 18, potentially including Barkley. The 28-year-old has rushed for 1,140 yards and scored nine total touchdowns this season, nearly half of what he managed last year, making it tough to project his ranking heading into 2026.
Saquon Barkley was limited to 68 yards on 19 carries during Sunday's 13-12 win over Buffalo, averaging just 3.6 yards per attempt against a stout defense. The running back saw his three-game scoring streak come to an end and failed to draw a target in the passing game for the first time this season.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the modest output, Barkley continued to dominate the backfield usage, handling 19 of Philadelphia's 23 rushing attempts. He carries a season line of 280 carries for 1,140 yards and seven touchdowns into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Commanders.
Saquon Barkley ran 21 times for 132 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 29-18 win over the Commanders. He failed to corral either of his two targets.
Fantasy Impact
Barkley now has a touchdown in three straight games and 100+ rushing yards in two of his last three. This is the Saquon Barkley we thought we would be getting when drafting him, and though it's taken a while, he's showing up at just the right time.
Saquon Barkley (stinger) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Washington Commanders.
Fantasy Impact
Barkley suffered a stinger in last week's game, but he was able to practice this week and carries no injury designation ahead of Philadelphia's matchup against the Commanders on Saturday. He should be a full go in that game and should remain in most fantasy lineups for that game and for the remainder of the season.
Saquon Barkley was back at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Barkley had opened the week missing practice on Tuesday. He should be good to go for Saturday's game against the Commanders.
