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
De'Von Achane
  • “Achane is out for the year, making him an excellent buy-low trade candidate in dynasty. When healthy, the former Texas A&M star is one of the top running backs in fantasy football. While giving up Irving hurts your team’s chances of winning this season, adding Achane vastly improves your roster starting in 2027.”

    Mike Fanelli· Oct 6, 2026
  • “If De’Von Achane misses time, Gordon is a low-end RB2 based on his projected volume, but don’t expect much of a ceiling here.”

    Wyatt Bertolone· Sep 28, 2026
  • “While Miami’s offense will be less than exciting all year, Achane should still have the volume and opportunities when he returns with a more favorable schedule. I don’t see Miami playing much worse than it is right now. I like him even more in PPR leagues.”

    Joshua Poniatowski· Sep 27, 2026
See 11 more
  • “The sportsbooks have Achane ranked as a low-end RB1 on the week. Parker Washington | WR, Jacksonville Jaguars Sportsbook Rank: WR11 Expert Consensus Rank: WR22 Even the biggest Parker Washington bull couldn’t dream up a better start to the season. Washington ranks third in yards per route run (4.52), second in targets per route run (45%), second in target share (35%), eighth in receiving yards (181), and tenth in fantasy points (18.1 PPG).”

    Elliott Troop· Sep 26, 2026
  • “I’m expecting the Dolphins to get down big in this one, so unless Achane catches a bunch of dump-offs, he’s probably in for another tough fantasy day.” – Wolf Trelles-Heard ( FantasyPros )”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 24, 2026
  • “De’Von Achane’s role has been unimpeachable. He ranks second among running backs in snap share (83%), first in route rate (74%), second in target share (22%) and fifth in rush share (76%). But a team-wide lack of volume has left him ranked just 15th in expected half-PPR points.”

    Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Malik Willis and De'Von Achane can scoot. Among 74 running backs with at least 150 rush attempts since 2023, Achane is first in yards per carry (5.62) and first in explosive run rate (16.6%).”

    Josh Shepardson· Sep 10, 2026
  • “While McDaniel was head coach in Miami, De’Von Achane averaged 5.6 yards per carry, scored 35 touchdowns in 44 games, and had seasons with 78 and 67 catches. Achane and Hampton have wildly different body types – Achane weighs less than 200 pounds; Hampton is a 220-pound brute – but it’s hard to look at the ways McDaniels used Achane without getting excited about what’s in store for Hampton.”

    Pat Fitzmaurice· Sep 9, 2026
  • “De’Von Achane (MIA) Achane was one of five running backs to average over 20 PPR fantasy points per game last year (20.2).”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026
  • “De’Von Achane (RB – MIA) Last year, De’Von Achane had more than 450 rushing yards, more than his previous best, and surpassed 1000 yards for the first time in his career while hitting 80 targets for the second consecutive year.”

    Tom Strachan· Aug 31, 2026
  • “But Achane will be sailing into some fierce headwinds this year. The Dolphins’ Vegas win total for 2026 was 4.5 as of this writing – and it was juiced toward the under. Miami’s offensive line is expected to be among the worst in the league.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4, 2026
  • “There’s no denying that Achane is an abundantly talented player and a fun watch. He’s averaged 5.6 yards per carry for his career, he’s scored double-digit touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons, and he’s had 145 catches over the last two years. Achane finished RB5 in half-point PPR scoring last year.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4, 2026
  • “Achane has had a major downgrade in team context. For one, Mike McDaniel is no longer calling plays.”

    Frank Ammirante· Jul 27, 2026
  • “For those who are worried about De'Von Achane and the Miami offense struggling so much that he will not be productive, maybe just look back at 2025, when the Dolphins struggled… and he wasn't one of the most consistent RBs in fantasy; he was THE most consistent RB in fantasy. Achane can get it done on the ground and in the air, so regardless of game script, he is a blessing for most fantasy teams.”
