From the episode

in week two he gets sidelined on the first carry because of a stinger...week three he rushes for 73 yards in the first half and the defense gets steamrolled so he gets phased out of the game and then week four after three touches his hamstring explodes

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Barkley's hamstring injury after three touches in week 4 caps brutal injury-plagued start.

After four weeks, Barkley's season has been derailed by injury timing and volume loss despite showing explosiveness when given good blocking. Week 2: sidelined on first carry with stinger, missed goal-line TD; Week 3: 73 rushing yards in first half before defense got steamrolled and he was phased out; Week 4: hamstring injury after three touches. The source characterizes this as an egregiously bad run, noting the hamstring injury looks like a multi-week issue and that early-game injuries are worse for fantasy than zeros.
