Yahoo Fantasy Football on Saquon Barkley

Barkley's weak receiving role (RB42 in receptions) limits ceiling despite strong tape and rushing production.

Barkley looks fantastic on tape with burst, spin moves, and quick decision-making that made him elite before, but he's hard to trust as a top-10 fantasy RB right now because the receiving role just isn't there. He's the RB42 in receptions per game (1.0), which limits his ceiling. He was the RB20 and RB26 in expected half PPR points in his two healthy games this year, and he'll always lose some goal-line touchdowns to Jalen Hurts. The Eagles couldn't carry over their early-season rushing success in short yardage, as Barkley failed on his two goal-line opportunities last week.
