Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'good to go' for Giants game after another limited practice Fri Nov 6, 03:56 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Giants after another limited practice on Friday. Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the Eagles shopping most of their vets, it's peculiar that they keep playing an injured Barkley while maintaining the stance that he won't be traded. He split touches with Elijah Mitchell last week and looked clearly limited by his injuries. As he gets healthier, his role may grow. But fantasy managers should hope the Eagles explore a trade and put him in a better offensive ecosystem. It's hard to trust him as anything more than a shaky RB2 this week. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'back at practice' Thursday Thu Nov 5, 02:23 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley returned to practice on Thursday. Barkley did not practice Wednesday while dealing with hamstring and back issues. The Eagles host the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley rushed 13 times for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 8 loss to the Commanders, adding 24 yards on one reception. He's a key cog for what the Eagles want to do, and they'll lean on him more than ever with Joe Milton getting the start at quarterback. He's at least a flex option against the Giants in Week 9. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley will not be traded before deadline despite Eagles' struggles Sun Nov 1, 07:18 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley will not be traded before next week's trade deadline, sources told NFL Network. The report puts an end to speculation that Barkley could be moved out of Philadelphia amid the Eagles' struggles.
| Footballguys view: It wouldn't make much sense for the Eagles to play Barkley when he is not 100% (by his own admission) if they were planning on trading him. Barkley is a big part of the team's 2027 plans. There will be some big changes this offseason, but Barkley will be retained as a franchise cornerstone. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley off injury report, 'good to go' Sunday night at Washington Fri Oct 30, 03:51 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Earlier in the week Barkley had been tracking to miss the game, with no sign of him at Thursday's practice, before he was spotted at practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: This is a bit of a surprise, since Barkley missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles were down to Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue after Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all landed on IR. Barkley is expected to get the bulk of the work, and it remains to be seen whether and how the team will monitor his workload. He's a risky back-end RB2 this week. |

There was 'no sign' of Eagles RB Saquon Barkley at Thursday's practice, the team's first practice of the week. Barkley, who is dealing with hamstring and back injuries, was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley is clearly on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Eagles could be down to Jaydon Blue and Elijah Mitchell at the running back position if Barkley can't play. |

Eagles | Executives split on Saquon Barkley's trade value as Eagles may test market Thu Oct 29, 03:55 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.
| Footballguys view: Even with his lingering injuries, Barkley would have at least a few teams interested if he's available. The Eagles are always in the market because GM Howie Roseman is addicted to trading. We'll see if another team offers the Eagles enough to get Barkley. It's unlikely to take a premium pick (or picks) to get the veteran back. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley estimated as non-participant Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 06:56 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley doesn't expect back injury to keep him out, hamstring 'came out fine' Tue Oct 27, 12:33 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said his back flared up on his first run of Monday's loss to the Cowboys, noting that sometimes you overcompensate when dealing with a different injury. Barkley said his hamstring came out fine and he doesn't expect the back to keep him out. "Just can't find a way to finish the game. But yeah, banged up a little bit," Barkley said.
| Footballguys view: Barkley returned from a two-game absence only to be limited -- he spent time in the medical tent, on the exercise bike, and stretching on the sidelines. Still, he was effective. Barkley had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for nine yards before the back injury sidelined him. Barkley became the first starter in the last 20 seasons to play at least nine offensive snaps in a game and get a touch on all of them. The Eagles play the Commanders in Week 8. We'll have more on Barkley in coming days. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to "fight through the injury to play" in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Barkley, who was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, practiced fully on Saturday and is listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been out of action since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. He should be back in Week 7, but now Tanner McKee is in at quarterback. There should be plenty of opportunities for the veteran back as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. With Barkley on the field, we've got him in the low-end RB1 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected back at practice Thursday, 'in line to play' Monday vs. Cowboys Thu Oct 22, 09:32 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursday and is in line to play Monday against the Cowboys, sources say. Barkley was ruled out of Sunday's loss to the Panthers with the hamstring injury. His return would be a lift for an offense with a banged-up backfield.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday Night Football, so we'll have to see what Barkley's status is on Saturday. Barkley has been out of action with this hamstring injury since Week 4. They won't have Jalen Hurts, but getting Barkley back is huge for the offense in what has to be considered a must-win game. We like him in the RB2 range this week from a fantasy perspective. |

Eagles | Eagles could face Cowboys with 'just Pierce and' Jaydon Blue as Barkley still not practicing Mon Oct 19, 03:00 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley still has not practiced as he works back from the hamstring injury he suffered in the Rams game, and with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley out for multiple weeks, Philadelphia could go into its Week 7 Monday night game against the Cowboys with just RB Dameon Pierce and RB Jaydon Blue.
| Footballguys view: Pierce has averaged 1.3 and 2.9 yards per carry over the last two weeks, and the Eagles have run 31 times for 57 yards in losses to the Jaguars and Panthers, including 35 yards on 13 carries Sunday. Head coach Nick Sirianni pointed to the Panthers' lead for the lack of runs Sunday, saying, "Obviously, right now we're not running the ball the way we want to." With Jalen Hurts now out for the rest of the season, it's fair to wonder how hard the Eagles will push to get Barkley back in the mix. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley ruled out for Sunday vs. Panthers Fri Oct 16, 04:03 PM
The Eagles ruled out RB Saquon Barkley for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers. Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, was not seen at practice on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley didn't practice all week, so no one expected him to play as the Eagles continue marching through their disastrous season. Dameon Pierce should get the starting nod this week, but Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue could also get touches. Pierce is an RB3, and a risky one at that. Steele and Blue can be stashed in deep leagues, but you can't trust either of them in a fantasy lineup. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley not seen at Friday practice Fri Oct 16, 12:47 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Friday. Barkley was also not spotted at practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley hasn't practiced all week. With Will Shipley likely out as well, Dameon Pierce is set to lead the Eagles' backfield. Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue might get some usage. Given the Eagles' injuries, though, any running back is a fantasy dart throw, likely dependent on a touchdown to pay off. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley not spotted at Thursday practice, 'another day without practice' Thu Oct 15, 02:24 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen during the short media viewing window at Thursday's practice, ESPN's Tim McManus reported. That points to another day without practice for Barkley, who was also absent on Wednesday. Barkley had been described on Monday as having 'a shot to return' for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele are in line for more work. We see Pierce as the lead back, and that could make him an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. Without Jalen Hurts, the Eagles offense should lean on the run early and often. |

Eagles | No sign of Saquon Barkley at Wednesday practice Wed Oct 14, 02:33 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was not seen at practice on Wednesday as he deals with a hamstring injury. Barkley missed Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London and was considered "week-to-week" afterward.
| Footballguys view: On Monday he was described as having "a shot to return" for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers. In fact, Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said he's "hopeful" he will receive offensive reinforcements this week (he was asked about Barkley's availability). It's Wednesday, so Fantasy GMs have to wait until Friday to see if Barkley can at least get in a limited practice. |

Eagles | Sirianni hopeful Saquon Barkley can return for Week 6 Mon Oct 12, 04:11 PM
Coach Nick Sirianni and the Eagles returned from London on Monday, as he spoke to the media about the game and injury updates. Sirianni said he's 'hopeful' that Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith can return this week.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are in an especially tough spot at RB. The three RBs entering the season all finished yesterday's game injured. If Barkley is not back this week, they're looking at Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue. That's why Barkley's return is especially important." Barkley has rushed for 182 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He was injured early in two games with a stinger and now has a hamstring injury. We'll be watching for more. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley ruled out for Sunday's game in London Fri Oct 9, 03:57 PM
The Eagles officially ruled out RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London. Barkley did not practice Thursday and was not seen at Friday's practice. He is one of five players the Eagles ruled out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: With Barkley out, Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce are set to lead the backfield. The Eagles are dealing with multiple issues right now, including an unexpected retirement and the trade of two starting offensive linemen. Shipley has big-play speed and pass-catching upside, making him the more fun of the two backs. But Pierce's skill set could lead to touchdowns if he gets early-down and goal-line work. Shipley is a borderline RB2, while Pierce is more of a touchdown-or-bust desperation play. |

| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here as Barkley is not expected to play in Week 5. Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce will split carries with Shipley likely being the lead back. We've got Shipley in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'week-to-week' with hamstring Tue Oct 6, 01:12 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered "week-to-week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Rams, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday, "We'll see," when asked about Barkley's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, adding the team would "have more answers for you probably Wednesday." With Tank Bigsby undergoing core muscle surgery and heading to injured reserve, Will Shipley, who rushed six times for 23 yards against the Rams, is the only healthy running back on the active roster. Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele are on the practice squad. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley sidelined by hamstring injury in first quarter Sun Oct 4, 02:31 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams with 11:48 left. He will not return (hamstring).
| Footballguys view: Barkley has left two games with injuries in four weeks. He returned after suffering a shoulder stinger in Week 2, but didn't add much in the second half. This time, he won't have a chance to even do that. Tank Bigsby got most of the work over Will Shipley once Barkley left, and he warmed up down the stretch, but then he appeared to suffer a groin injury late. The Jaguars are up next week, and even though that's a revenge game for Bigsby, he's not going to be more than a flex play next week after the Jaguars smothered the Bengals running game in Week 4 -- that is if he is even available. Will Shipley would be a what-the-heck RB2/Flex if both Barkley and Bigsby are out next week. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley plans to play "fearless" Monday night against the Bears as he eyes a return from a stinger injury. Barkley was limited in Thursday's practice with the shoulder injury before returning to full practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Eagles and Fantasy GMs here. A stinger is a scary injury, but Barkley has the right mindset. Both of his backups, RB Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and RB Will Shipley (foot), returned to practice (limited) on Friday as well. We like Barkley as an RB1 this week against the Bears as per usual. |

| Footballguys view: When Barkley's imaging results were delayed earlier this week, people quickly assumed the worst. But Barkley laid those concerns to rest when he returned to practice on Thursday. He's expected to practice the next two days and play on Monday night. Add him to your lineup as an RB1. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is reportedly expected to play against the Bears in Chicago despite an injury. The report does not specify the nature of the injury or Barkley's practice status.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday night in Week 3, so Fantasy GMs would like some clarity before Sunday. Watch Barkley's practice status through Saturday. Reports indicate Barkley underwent an MRI for the stinger he suffered in Week 2 against the Titans. At this time, Barkley is on track to play and we like him as an RB2 with upside in Week 3. |

Yahoo Sports reports that Philadelphia Eagles RB Tank Bigsby took over the lead backfield role after RB Saquon Barkley left the game with a shoulder stinger.
| Footballguys view: Barkley was evaluated on the sideline and became questionable to return, with Bigsby filling in as the primary ball-carrier in his absence. Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards and a touchdown. He remains the locked in as a great insurance policy for fantasy managers invested in Barkley. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran 4 times for 9 yards and also caught 1 pass for 11 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.5.
| Footballguys view: Barkley was a dud in a great matchup because he missed most of the first half with a shoulder stinger. Tank Bigsby wasn't that impressive in his stead, but Barkley had little effect on the game after he returned. The Bears run defense is generous, so we'll start Barkley in fantasy leagues next week, but this was not the start to the season we were looking for when Barkley went in the second round of drafts. |

Eagles | Drop in explosion from Saquon Barkley Wed Jul 8, 08:29 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley had four runs of 20-plus yards last season after recording 17 such runs the previous year.
| Footballguys view: Barkley's 2024 season was highlighted by breakaway runs through the second level, but he was regularly tripped up there in 2025. With Kevin Patullo out of the picture, there's hope that Sean Mannion can get this offense back on track. A lack of a deep postseason run and minimized usage could lead to fresher legs for Barkley. He's settling into Round 2 of fantasy drafts, where both his upside and downside are being recognized. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley to see uptick in receptions? Sun Jun 7, 04:07 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley could be in line for more working catching the ball out of the backfield, thanks to the departure of WR A.J. Brown (Patriots). He was targeted just 50 times in 2025, and 43 times in 2024. In his final two seasons with the New York Giants, he had 136 total targets. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could look to use Barkley more in pass-catching situations to offset the loss of Brown.

Eagles | Saquon Barkley asking for advice Sun May 31, 03:03 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached out to retired RB Todd Gurley for advice on how to make the most of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system.
| Footballguys view: Gurley was a teammate of new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with the Rams in 2017-2018, and he had two of the best years of his career in the zone running game during the Sean McVay regime. Barkley will be running a lot more outside zone with the quarterback under center, so he is having to revamp his game. Offensive line health is a big question mark along with Barkley's adjustment physically and mentally to a one cut and go style of play, but this season should be a better offensive environment for him after playing in the disaster of an offense run by Kevin Patullo, who was let go in the offseason. |

You love the challenge of putting yourself in a new system and doing the things that you do really well, and also things that you need to improve on and that they're going to challenge us to do. I feel like if we are able to have that mindset as an offense and buy into that, I think the sky's the limit,' Barkley said.

Eagles | Defending champ Philadelphia eliminated at home Sun Jan 11, 07:53 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 20-of-35 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in an NFC Wild Card game loss against the San Francisco 49ers, while running five times for 14 yards. RB Saquon Barkley rushed 26 times for a game-high 106 yards with three receptions for 25 yards on six targets. RB Tank Bigsby had four runs for 19 yards, with RB Will Shipley chipping in with a 6-yard grab on his lone touch and target. WR DeVonta Smith posted team bests with eight receptions and 70 yards on 11 targets, while new dad TE Dallas Goedert had four receptions for 33 yards and a TD, while also running for a 1-yard score. WR A.J. Brown had three receptions for 25 yards on seven targets, but he also had a key drop in the fourth quarter and a shouting match with head coach Nick Sirianni during the game. WR Darius Cooper had a 9-yard catch on his only target, while WR Jahan Dotson didn't have a catch on his lone target. DB Quinyon Mitchell had two interceptions and three passes defensed, while DE Jalen Carter had three total stops, a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and a QB hit.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles offense has been a dysfunctional family all season, and it ended up being the downfall of the 2025 season for the team. AJ Brown had a terrible drop with the team driving to win the game, and was seen having a heated exchange with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sideline earlier in the game. That won't quiet speculation that he gets dealt in the offseason. The 49ers were without their starting linebackers, but the Eagles underachieved on offense all day. It could lead to both the firing of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and the hiring of 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as a head coach in this firing/hiring cycle - but not for at least one more week. Dallas Goedert is also a free agent, so there could be some major changes for this offense in the offseason. |
