Fantasy Football Player Notes

It has been a disappointing season all around for Saquon Barkley as the RB15 in fantasy points per game. He has only one week with at least 100 rushing yards (vs. NYG) and only three games with at least 80 rushing yards. Barkley has averaged 19.4 touches and 83.3 total yards per game. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 26th in explosive run rate, 35th in missed tackle rate, and 43rd in yards after contact per attempt. He's a volume play weekly, but he could have a nice game this week. The Bolts' run defense has been dramatically overrated all season. Since Week 9, they have allowed the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, the tenth-highest rushing success rate, and had the ninth-lowest stuff rate.
