News: 14 hours agoBarkley rushed 22 times for 95 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards in Monday's 22-21 loss to Atlanta.

Spin: Barkley failed to replicate the three touchdowns he produced in his Eagles' debut last week, but the superstar running back still provided fantasy managers with strong results off of 26 combined touches. The 27-year-old is averaging 124.0 yards from scrimmage through two contests while serving as the Eagles' primary RB. Those hoping for a bounce-back season from Barkley in 2024 have to be feeling good about their decision heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Saints.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Barkley left the rival Giants for the superior offense down the New Jersey Turnpike, one stacked with elite options at quarterback, wide receiver and, perhaps most importantly, along the still-dominant offensive line. Barkley's 2023 numbers may appear average, but blame the underwhelming New York offense, from the players to its direction. Still blessed with elite skills, a mostly healthy Barkley finished ninth among running backs at 15.9 fantasy points per game, and he may return to his 2022 numbers (1,312 rushing yards, 57 catches) in this top offense. Barkley is a first-round fantasy pick and potential top-three fantasy RB provided health (one never knows) and volume (no problems there).
