Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said after Sunday's win over the Giants that he could have re-entered had the game been closer. He wound up missing the fourth quarter with a groin injury that he said is "nothing crazy." We'll look for further updates on Barkley' status, but he gets a well-timed Week 9 bye. RB Tank Bigsby controlled Philadelphia's backfield after Barkley exited, handling seven of nine RB carries. He's worth stashing until we know more about Barkley.

A groin injury may have ended Saquon Barkley's Sunday on a negative note, but there's much more reason for positivity after easily his best outing of the season. Barkley racked up 150 yards and a TD on 14 carries, plus a 4-24-1 receiving line on five targets before leaving at the end of the third quarter. His first touch of the day went for a 65-yard TD. Barkley had only reached 65 yards for an entire game once this season before Sunday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley exited with a groin injury at the end of the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He was in obvious discomfort and headed straight to the medical tent. We'll update Barkley's status when we know more. Barkley has having a huge day before exiting, totaling 174 yards and two TDs. His absence leaves Philadelphia with RBs Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and A.J. Dillon.

Philadelphia's pass offense delivered it's best output of the season in Sunday's win over the Vikings, but it didn't invite Saquon Barkley to the party. The star RB managed just 44 yards on 18 carries (2.4 per rush) and lost 2 yards while catching his only target.

Thursday night's game vs. the Giants set up as a get-right spot for Eagles RB Saquon Barkley. New York entered this one dead last in our Run Defense Power Rankings and 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs. Opposing backs averaged 107 rushing yards per game on 5.6 yards per carry vs. the Giants over the first five weeks. Barkley mustered just 58 rushing yards on 12 carries in the match. That's a nice 4.8 yards per carry. But the vast majority of Barkley's damage came on his first two runs of the game: 18- and 13-yarders. His final 10 carries totaled just 27 yards. Five of those runs went for no gain or a loss. And, unlike last week, Barkley did not salvage his fantasy outing with receiving production. He caught two of his three targets for just nine yards.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (knee) is not listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the Giants. He was limited on Tuesday and put in a full practice on Wednesday. The knee shouldn't be an issue in this one. Barkley is in a get-right spot against the 29th-ranked RB defense.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (knee) put in a limited practice on Tuesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said yesterday that Barkley had some "general soreness" coming out of Week 5 but is fully expected to play vs. the Giants on Thursday night. It's a get-right spot for Barkley against the league's 28th-ranked RB defense.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is listed as "did not practice" with a knee issue on Monday's injury report. The team didn't actually practice just a day after their loss to Denver. Barkley recorded a season-low 6 carries on a season-low 72% snap rate in that one, and the knee could have been a factor. Of course, we're also talking about a veteran RB on a short week, so this could turn out to be nothing at all. We'll update Barkley's status again on Tuesday. His absence vs. the Giants on Thursday night would likely leave RBs Will Shipley and A.J. Dillon working in a timeshare.

Update: Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Barkley had "general soreness" coming out of the Broncos game and "fully expects" to play on Thursday night.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley heads into Monday night with the 10th-best PPR score at the position for Week 5. But his production against the Broncos carried positive and negative. Barkley caught three passes for 47 yards and a TD but added just six carries for 30 yards. That marked his fewest carries and yards for a healthy game since 2022 with the Giants.

Through four games, Eagles RB Saquon Barkley sits just 13th in PPR points per game, right behind rookies Quinshon Judkins and Omarion Hampton. Barkley used a TD and his best receiving output so far this year to deliver a fine fantasy line in Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. But he also rushed for a season-low 43 yards on 19 carries. The 4-31 receiving line marked his third 4-catch game of the season.

Eagles RB Will Shipley (oblique) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It gives him a shot to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Shipley, of course, is not a fantasy option as long as RB Saquon Barkley is healthy. But we're curious to see how the depth chart shakes out behind Barkley between Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon.

Let's start with the positive: You got 84 total yards and a TD if you started Eagles RB Saquon Barkley in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys. Barkley rushed 18 times, vs. six combined carries for the team's other two RBs. His five targets and 4 receptions each ranked second on the team. But Barkley struggled on the yardage front. He managed just 3.3 yards per rush and 6.0 yards per reception.

Eagles RB Will Shipley suffered a rib injury in the first half of Thursday night's opener vs. the Cowboys. He was officially deemed "questionable" to return but never did. The second-year back got involved early, with two carries for 25 yards on Philadelphia's opening possession. He carried once more on the second possession before getting hurt. A.J. Dillon operated as the Eagles' No. 2 RB the rest of the way. We'll update Shipley's status when we learn more.

The Eagles signed RB A.J. Dillon to a one-year deal. Dillon missed the entire 2024 season after a neck injury that dated back to 2023. He was medically cleared last week, though, and will now battle for a role behind Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia.
