Since he returned from injury in Week 7, Saquon Barkley has scored in all 3 games he's played. And yet, even with a touchdown in every game, he's only RB27 on a PPG basis over that stretch. Even more concerning, he ranks as RB44 in Utilization Score during that period. He averages just 12 touches. And a 4% target share. Maybe the bye week helps Barkley get fully healthy, and his role grows moving forward, but for now it's hard to view him as anything more than a flex play.

Barkley is a flex play despite TDs in all 3 games back; RB44 in utilization with 12 touches.

Matthew Berry views Saquon Barkley as a flex play at best despite scoring in all 3 games since returning from injury in Week 7. Even with a touchdown in every game, he ranks as RB27 on a PPG basis over that stretch and RB44 in Utilization Score during that period. Barkley averages just 12 touches and a 4% target share. While the bye week may help him get fully healthy and his role could grow, his current limited usage makes him difficult to view as more than a flex play.
