Expert takes

Saquon Barkley
  • “Tank Bigsby was placed on IR, and Saquon Barkley was projected to be out and is. Barkley’s timeline isn’t clear, but Shipley has a brutal matchup this week. Jacksonville has allowed the fourth-fewest half-PPR points per game to running backs (14.3) this season, holding them to only 47.5 rushing yards per game and 2.84 yards per carry.”

    Josh Shepardson· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Through four games, Barkley has just 182 rushing yards, eight receiving yards and zero touchdowns, good for roughly 23 total PPR points. That’s the kind of production you’d be disappointed to get from your FLEX player, let alone your first-round pick. To make matters worse, Barkley left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury after just two carries, adding durability to the growing list of concerns.”

    Tim Brosnan· Oct 6, 2026
  • “The offense still looks broken.” – Shaun Ireland ( FantasyPros ) “ Saquon Barkley gets a short-week matchup against the Rams, who have allowed only 14.4 half-PPR points per game to running backs so far this year, the 7th stingiest matchup, but the bigger red flag is that Barkley is slumping independent of any matchup… he’s averaging -2.1 fantasy points versus expectation this season. Stacking a tough run defense on top of an already underperforming workload on a team with major offensive struggles in a short week is a quadruple negative, not a single data point that regression can easily fix.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Oct 1, 2026

  • “News Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley are considered week-to-week with lower-body injuries.”

    Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026
  • “With a soft schedule for running backs the rest of the way, Barkley is a guy I’d be hunting for. The fantasy points will start flowing soon; he won’t stay down like this for long. If I could turn a receiver like Rashee Rice into Barkley, I’d be a happy camper.” – Wolf Trelles-Heard ( FantasyPros )”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Best Bet: Saquon Barkley to Lead the NFL in Rushing Yards (+1000) Saquon Barkley is my value candidate who may be underpriced despite his clear path to volume.”

    Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2, 2026
  • “Saquon Barkley had a down season in 2025, but he is still a dynamic workhorse who could easily have a bounce-back season with coordinator Sean Mannion at the helm of the offense.”

    Wyatt Bertolone· Sep 2, 2026
  • “Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) Yes, last season was pretty awful for Saquon Barkley and those who drafted him, but the warning signs were there. Barkley had an absurd number of touches in 2024.”

    Tom Strachan· Aug 29, 2026
  • “In a standard scoring league, Saquon Barkley was the smart move, especially since six running backs went in the first nine picks. 2.”

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 23, 2026
  • “I think Barkley could have a bounce-back year, and he is being underrated. After he was going 1.01 in drafts, most fantasy owners will rightfully feel burned by him this year.”

    Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11, 2026
  • “After an insane 2024 season, Saquon Barkley was poised to come back down to earth some in 2025.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 7, 2026
  • “Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) After running laps around the position in 2024, Saquon Barkley’s finish of RB14 was a shock. Despite only missing one game, he scored 214 fantasy points compared to the 339 points he scored in 2024.”

    Ellis Johnson· Jul 17, 2026
  • “Given the season he had in 2024 and the expectations created for gamers, Barkley may have produced the most disappointing 1,413-yard, 9-touchdown season in history. Regression was certainly expected coming off his historic run the year before, and a lot went wrong for this offense.”

    Rich Hribar· Jul 7, 2026
Chase Brown
  • “Favorite Stack: Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Chase Brown are scattered throughout the articles this week, so this is where I want to lean into the stance instead of pretending those plays are independent. The fact that this game is Andy’s Almost Upset of the Week scares me more than it did a few days ago, but I still like the combo. Tee Higgins is due for a 20+ yard TD.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 26, 2026
  • “Chase Brown | $6,600 | @ PIT Brown has already handled 36 carries and eight receptions, including 23 touches last week against HOU (see, go get em, Jonathan Taylor ). PIT has allowed 256 rushing yards through two games at 4.3 yards per carry, so this matchup is juicy. Projection : 16.79 DK points at 10.35% pOwn, with a 27-point ceiling.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 25, 2026
  • “Chase Brown posted a 72% snap share, matching a true bell-cow workload — team-high 16 carries, including a designed goal-line touchdown, plus 5 catches on 6 targets.”

    Andrew Erickson· Sep 16, 2026

  • “On the other side of the ball, Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase , Higgins, and Chase Brown are all easy starts for the Ballers.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 12, 2026
  • “TB | DraftKings: $7,100/FanDuel: $7,500 Chase Brown is a workhorse running back in an elite offense. You can go with Jahmyr Gibbs here, too, but I prefer to save a bit of salary with Brown. The Bengals face the Buccaneers in a projected shootout, as highlighted by the game’s 50.5-point total.”

    Frank Ammirante· Sep 12, 2026
  • “Chase Brown ( CIN) : ADP 13.6 | RB 8 After a quiet rookie season, Brown has turned into a fantasy star.”

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 31, 2026
  • “2026 NFL Overs: Best Running Back Prop Bets David Montgomery — Over 825.5 Rushing Yards (-114) David Montgomery — Over 7.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-102) Chase Brown — Over 824.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Chase Brown — Over 5.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-125) 2026 NFL Longshot Running Back Prop Bets David Montgomery Touchdown Ladder 10+ Touchdowns (+195) 12+ Touchdowns (+350) 15+ Touchdowns (+800) Chase Brown Rushing Ladder 1000+ Rushing Yards (+210) 1250+ Rushing Yards (+550) 1500+ Rushing Yards (+1700) Fantasy football projections, like those done by Rich Hribar , can be a guide to help identify overvalued or undervalued players in the current betting markets.”

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 11, 2026
  • “I don’t think any other running back is set up as well as Chase Brown is this season. The London, Ontario native is primed for his third straight top-12 season.”

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 11, 2026
  • “Chase Brown (RB – CIN) has real top-three overall ceiling that isn’t being discussed enough.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026
  • “Chase Brown is expected to play an important role in a highly functioning offense that could finish as one of the top-scoring teams in 2026. Brown is a pass-catching back who adds a vast amount of value due to his high reception rate, and dual threat in regards to touchdowns (11 total) . The running back for the Bengals caught 69 receptions for 437 yards.”
