Rapoport: Saquon 'week-to-week' with hamstring
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Tank Bigsby is expected to miss at least four games due to an IR stint but could return in six weeks or less, providing some hope for the Eagles' backfield.
- Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 and is at risk of missing at least one game, potentially opening up more opportunities for Bigsby and third-string RB Will Shipley.
- Will Shipley, known for his pass-catching ability from Clemson, may see increased playing time, especially in PPR leagues, while Dameon Pierce or Jaydon Blue could be promoted for early-down carries.
- Barkley returned to practice and had a good MRI result, suggesting he may be available for the upcoming game against the Bears, though he might have a limited workload as a precaution.
- The Eagles' offense struggled in the loss to the Rams, with Barkley’s production limited and the team’s offense described as predictable and uninventive, raising concerns about Barkley’s fantasy value despite his draft status.
