From the article

Saquon Barkley, who is playing through a hamstring and back injury, has seen just 23 opportunities in his last two games since returning in Week 7 against the Cowboys. While he has still managed to finish as a top-24 PPR RB in back-to-back weeks, Barkley's production is fueled by good fortune in the touchdown department. He's found the end zone in each of his last two games, but those 12 combined PPR points make up 43.6 percent of his fantasy scoring over that span.

Negative signalUsage

Barkley's 11.5 opps/gm and TD-dependent scoring (43.6% of points) signal declining volume.

Since returning in Week 7, Saquon Barkley has seen just 23 opportunities in his last two games (11.5 opps/gm), a concerning volume decline. While he has finished as a top-24 PPR RB in back-to-back weeks, his production is heavily fueled by touchdown luck—he's found the end zone in each of his last two games, with those 12 combined PPR points making up 43.6 percent of his fantasy scoring over that span.
