@DanGrazianoESPN believes Tony Pollard is the most likely RB to be moved at the trade deadline: “I believe Tennessee's Tony Pollard is the more likely running back to be dealt, ahead of Taylor or Saquon Barkley, but if the Colts are in full rebuilding mode, you can't rule anything out.”

Saquon Barkley is mentioned as a name thrown around in trade speculation for teams in win-now mode, though the source questions whether the Broncos actually need to trade for a running back given their current roster.

Saquon Barkley's 5.7 rushing average through seven games ranks 5th-highest in Eagles franchise history (minimum 40 carries) and 2nd-highest among NFL running backs behind only Kenny Walker of the Chiefs at 5.8; his 5.1 average with the Eagles is 2nd-highest by a running back in franchise history behind Ernie Steele's 5.2 yards per carry (1942–1948). Despite injury concerns, Barkley has been super productive when healthy; he averages 6.7 yards per carry before halftime (2nd-highest in the league among running backs, behind only Zonovan Knight at 8.17) on 29-for-195, though he drops to 3.5 yards per carry after halftime (14-for-49).

Jay Busbee identifies Saquon Barkley as an enticing trade target for contenders seeking instant ground offense, despite coming off injury.

Ranked RB16 for Week 8 at WSH on SNF. The source's ranking is dependent on Saquon not being at risk of missing Sunday night; any questionable tag or game-time decision report would drop him to ~RB28 range due to potential limited snaps. That said, Barkley has looked good when healthy this season, averaging a whopping 5.7 yards per carry—second most of his career. While Monday night's efficiency was aided by the Cowboys' weak defense, Barkley should be the engine of this injury-riddled Eagles offense any time he's healthy enough to handle the load.

Barkley returned from a two-game hamstring absence in Week 7 only to suffer an unrelated back injury in the second quarter. He was in and out of the lineup until leaving for good in the fourth quarter. Although the team has yet to provide an update, the new injury appears to be of lesser severity than the hamstring injury. Fantasy managers should monitor his practice participation throughout the week.
