Injury Status: Healthy
by Chelena Goldman
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recorded 13 carries for 22 yards and one touchdown in a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants in Week 9. The Giants' run defense, which entered Week 9 ranked 26th overall, held the star back to 1.7 yards per carry, his lowest game average since the 2023 season. Hamstring and back ailments have limited Barkley's impact this season as the Eagles endure a multitude of injuries, and the second-overall pick from the 2018 NFL Draft has recorded 56 carries for 274 yards and just two touchdowns in 2026. Barkley's job won't get any easier when the Eagles return from their Week 10 bye to face a sturdy Pittsburgh Steelers defense, making his bust performance in Week 9 sting even more for fantasy managers.

Saquon Barkley 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Looking to Improve on Solid, but Underwhelming Season in New Look Offense
Coming off a Super Bowl win and 2K rushing yards in 2024, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a solid but unspectacular campaign last year. Barkley rushed for 1,140 yards on 240 rushing attempts and seven touchdowns while catching 33 passes for 278 yards and two scores in 16 games.

Coming off a Super Bowl win and 2K rushing yards in 2024, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a solid but unspectacular campaign last year. Barkley rushed for 1,140 yards on 240 rushing attempts and seven touchdowns while catching 33 passes for 278 yards and two scores in 16 games. The 29-year-old didn't show signs of slowing down, with a positive run percentage of 75.7% and a 19.3% broken-tackle percentage. The Eagles' offense struggled for most of last season as quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown couldn't get on the same page, injuries to the offensive line, and the loss of then-OC Kellen Moore caused Philadelphia's offense to take a step back. In a laundry list of offseason moves, the Eagles traded Brown to the Patriots, drafted USC wide receiver Makai Lemon in the first round, and hired Sean Mannion as their new OC. The Eagles will center their offense behind Barkley again in 2026, but could get backup running back Tank Bigsby more involved, as he was efficient spelling Barkley by averaging 5.9 yards per carry. RotoBaller is projecting Barkley with 1,632 rushing yards on 305 attempts with 12 touchdowns while catching 40 passes in 2026. While the Eagles have shaken things up this year on offense, Barkley should be among the leaders in the NFL in touches and rushing attempts per game, making him a borderline first-round pick in upcoming fantasy football drafts.less...
