From the episode

Obviously, Saquon injured week four. Didn't practice week five or six. Anytime you're coming back from a hamstring injury, you really don't know until the player is back and that they look like themselves. And get through the game without a setback. That's the only way to know that they're 100% recovered.

STACKED’s take

NeutralInjury

Hamstring return Monday; low-end RB1 if active but play with caution in flex.

Injured in week four with a hamstring; did not practice in weeks five or six. Expected to return Monday night against the Cowboys. Matthew Berry notes that with hamstring injuries, you don't know if a player is 100% recovered until they play and get through the game without setback. Barkley said he wants to play but needs to test it throughout the week, letting medical staff make the decision. The close timing makes Berry a little nervous. If active, Barkley is a low-end RB1, but Berry recommends having a pivot and playing him in flex rather than as a locked-in starter due to uncertainty about first-game-back performance.
