News: 4 days agoBarkley took 22 carries for 60 yards while catching all three of his targets for 41 yards in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.

Spin: Barkley used the Eagles' bye week to fully recover from a minor groin injury suffered at the tail end of a Week 8 win over the Giants. The 28-year-old superstar was stymied on the ground by Green Bay's defense, but he still reached the century mark in total yards with an efficient night as a receiver. Barkley has been an obvious disappointment when comparing his 2025 results to his MVP-caliber campaign last year, but he's still producing a solid fantasy season with 779 total yards and six touchdowns through nine starts. The reigning Super Bowl champions will stick in a primetime slot for a Week 11 matchup against the Lions on Sunday Night Football.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Barkley's first season with the Eagles started with a three-touchdown debut and never lost steam en route to a Super Bowl LIX victory and NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Despite resting at times (including all of Week 18), Barkley led the NFL in carries, touches and scrimmage yards, which led to a position-best 22.2 fantasy PPG. Barkley, who averaged a career-best 5.8 YPC, does carry some risk, though, as he enters his age-28 campaign off a season with an absurd 482 touches (including the playoffs). He'll need to sustain his elite rushing output, as he isn't a big factor in the passing game (outside the top 25 in targets, catches and yards). He nonetheless remains in a great spot behind the Eagles' terrific offensive line and should be off the board in the first round of fantasy drafts.
