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). The matchup leans difficult, too. The Rams don't have Myles Garrett right now, but Aaron Donald is rounding into form and the rest of the DL can't be slept on. They've allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to RBs this year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Barkley's weak receiving role and goal-line TD risk limit top-10 upside.

Runs worked early against porous Bears defense and looks fantastic on tape with burst, spin moves, and quick decision-making; however, failed on two goal-line opportunities last week. Hard to trust as top-10 fantasy RB because receiving role just isn't there—RB42 in receptions per game (1.0). Was RB20 and RB26 in expected half PPR points in his two healthy games this year. Matchup leans difficult against Rams, who've allowed seventh-fewest fantasy points to RBs, holding CMC to 88 scoreless yards and all other RBs to under 8.0 half PPR points. Eagles projected for only 20.25 points (26th).
