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
Javonte Williams
  • “Javonte Williams ran an inefficient 19/62 on the ground but found the endzone three times to finish as the RB3.”

    Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Williams is averaging only 4.0 yards per touch (the fewest of any RB1 this season), but he has 81.1% of the backfield touches (RB7), with 44% of his fantasy points coming directly from touchdown production. Only Derrick Henry (46.3%) has a higher touchdown dependency among top-40 backs through four weeks. While that adds some potential regression here, Williams is still attached to a home favorite and has that workload and scoring equity in his pocket.”

    Rich Hribar· Oct 6, 2026
  • “While Javonte Williams remains the clear lead option for the Cowboys, Goodson appears to have carved out the primary third-down and backup role. The most fascinating stat from Sunday? Goodson handled seven touches on just 11 total snaps .”

    Nate Henry· Sep 29, 2026
See 9 more
  • “Javonte Williams is averaging 2.6 yards per carry through two weeks, and half of his carries have gone for two or fewer yards. He ranks second-lowest in rushing first downs and has looked slower this season. The Cowboys’ offensive line ranks last in yards before contact.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026
  • “The Cowboys offensive line has struggled without Tyler Smith , and it has shown with Williams averaging 3.4 and 2.5 rushing yards per attempt so far. It will get better for Williams, but it may not be this week. Baltimore has the makings to make this a track meet early against a dreadful Cowboys defense, leaving Dallas no option but to toss the ball around the park in Rio.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 24, 2026
  • “While I believe the aforementioned Judkins and Javonte Williams are good backs, I am not sold that they are great. However, both RBs get nearly all of the work for their respective backfields. I’m no chemist, but I know that if you mix bad defenses with high-powered offenses, you often get fireworks.”

    Colt Williams· Sep 24, 2026
  • “Last year, Javonte Williams was a massive surprise in fantasy football to everyone, including me.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026
  • “Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) A breakout that surprised even his believers, as Williams finished RB11 in points per game after most expectations topped out at a volume-driven RB2.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3, 2026
  • “” – Aaron St Denis ( Fantasy Sports Advice Network ) Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) “If I end up with a late pick, Javonte Williams is the running back I’m targeting when I get to Round 3. Last year, he was awesome in his first year with Dallas, racking up 1,338 total yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30, 2026
  • “Javonte Williams is coming off a season with more than 1,200 rushing yards and is in a high-powered offense.”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 22, 2026
  • “Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) was actually the RB1 in fantasy points per game last year, yet he’s being drafted like a mid-tier RB2 this year.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026
  • “Round 5: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI) Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was staring me in the face, but with a FLEX spot still available in a PPR league, I couldn’t pass up DeVonta Smith .”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 5, 2026
