From the video
hamstring and back injury is not exactly things I want to be worrying about with my running back, especially when we saw them so willing to actively put him out there on a clear snap count. If Saquon is questionable and we're getting the game-time decision stuff up until Sunday night, I would probably drop him to around RB29, RB30.
STACKED’s take
Hamstring and back injuries could drop Barkley to RB29–RB30 if he's a game-time decision.
Ranked RB16 this week but faces significant injury concerns that could drop him to RB29–RB30 if he remains questionable heading into Sunday night. Suffered hamstring and back injuries on Monday night football; while Barkley said hamstring was fine and back injury won't be long-term, Ian Hartitz expressed concern about the team putting him on a snap count. Despite strong season metrics (5.7 yards per carry, second-best of his career) and elusive play, the hamstring injury limited his home-run speed in the Cowboys game. If Saquon clears Friday and is not on the injury report, he'd move up a few spots from RB16; if he remains questionable as a game-time decision, Hartitz would drop him to around RB29–RB30, still ahead of Zach Charbonnet, Tyler Allgeier, RJ Harvey, and Brian Robinson Allen, but close to Rashaad White, Bam Knight, and Zonovan Knight. The tougher matchup against the Washington Commanders and Sunday night football timing compound the concerns.
