From the episode

He has not topped nine fantasy points in either of his healthy games so far this year. He did leave game two with the Stinger, right? So he has only played two full games. But he has not topped 15 carries in either of those two games. And he has only had one catch in both of those two healthy games as well.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Barkley's 9-point ceiling and zero TDs make him a mid-RB2 play vs. Rams' stingy run defense.

Barkley has not topped 9 fantasy points in either of his two healthy games this season. He has not exceeded 15 carries in either game and has only one catch across both healthy games. The source attributes this to game script—the Eagles are not closing games decisively—and notes Barkley is now touchdown-dependent, similar to David Montgomery. Facing the Rams, who have allowed zero touchdowns to running backs this season, Barkley is ranked as a mid-to-low RB2 (RB16) for Week 4.
