Mattek Fantasy Football on Saquon Barkley

From the video

I think my feeling on the Saquon injury is that he probably doesn't play this week. That's just total gut feeling, not backed up by anything. But generally speaking, 30-year-old dude gets a uh gets a stinger. I would think that would mean that he's probably not going to play the next week. It feels feels sketchy enough for Barkley in my opinion.

Likely out this week with stinger; situation feels sketchy

Michael Leone's gut feeling is that Saquon probably doesn't play this week after getting a stinger; reasoning is that a 30-year-old getting a stinger typically means he won't play the next week, though this is not backed by official reports. Leone also expresses concern about Barkley's situation, describing it as sketchy enough to prefer James Cook in a trade comparison.
