Expert takes
“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.”

“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
“The Rams will see more favorable game scripts moving forward, which could benefit Corum on early downs, but Williams has been efficient on the ground and is clearly the preferred back on passing downs. The Rams have been near the bottom of running back target share in each of the last six seasons but rank ninth this season, which is unlocking another level for Williams. The start of every season brings questions about Williams’ role, yet he continues to churn out RB1 production in the Rams’ elite offense.”
Chad Workman· Oct 6, 2026“Kyren Williams is an RB1 Kyren piled up 158 scrimmage yards on 21 touches against DEN, including six catches for 70 yards. Blake Corum finished with eight touches for 15 yards. We can live with Corum getting a few carries when Kyren is contributing this much as a receiver.”
Chris Cash· Sep 28, 2026“Kyren Williams has appeared to be the lead back for the Rams; however, Corum is only one rush behind him while having a higher yards per carry. Corum, ranked RB27, and the Rams will travel to the Mile High City to square off against the Broncos defense who have given up the fourth most rushing yards in the league. There is a clear path for both RBs to have success, and Puca possibly sitting out could lead to some additional touches.”

“Kyren Williams is the other running back under 220 pounds who reached the 300-carry threshold in 2023.”
Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2, 2026“Of course, Sean McVay’s love for Kyren Williams is well documented.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 31, 2026“Corum carries massive upside if Kyren Williams misses any time and could even work his way into FLEX consideration in the right matchups.”
Colt Williams· Aug 21, 2026“Kyren Williams remains one of the most reliable running backs in fantasy football. He had 1,252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns last season.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 12, 2026“The Rams have one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL, and Williams handled 63% of the red zone rushing attempts last year. Williams has been an RB1 for three years running, and yet he is in a tier with guys who are RB2’s.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11, 2026“In 2025, however, Williams started to see his role reduced with backfield mate Blake Corum earning more touches. In 2023 and 2024, Kyren Williams had Opportunity Shares of 78.4% and 82.8%.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 3, 2026“If we do see some natural regression and balance in passing-to-rushing scores, Kyren Williams should be the bet to benefit. Williams played 69.2% of the snaps in the red zone and out-touched Blake Corum 58 to 26 in that area.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 24, 2026“Kyren Williams slotted behind Omarion Hampton and only barely ahead of Jeremiyah Love is, frankly, scandalous. Williams is entering his age-26 season, so he certainly isn’t cooked.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23, 2026“Round 3: Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) Kyren Williams was the counter-pick, a player who’s kept sliding further down draft boards each offseason despite finishing as a top-10 running back in fantasy points per game last year. Much of the hesitation traces back to a well-known backfield split with a rookie teammate, but the full-season split was closer to 65-35 in Williams’ favor, not the even split many assume.”
