Fantasy Football Player Notes

Saquon Barkley's managers were on a rollercoaster last week. After leaving the game early with a "stinger", Barkley ended up returning for the rest of the game in the second half. In his absence, Tank Bigsby was admirable, carrying the rock 13 times for 33 yards and a score. Barkley ended up only playing 16% of snaps, collecting 20 yards in total. It has not been the start that Barkley's Managers had been hoping for this season. It will be important to monitor the injury reports this week to ensure he is ready to go for Monday Night Football. If he is, they face the Bears, who may be without Caleb Williams. Either way, this Bears defense is a great "get right" matchup for an Eagles offense that has not been firing on all cylinders. If Barkley is fully healthy, expect a nice fantasy week that will hopefully set him up for the rest of the season.
