Saquon Barkley Week 4 Outlook - Eagles at Buccaneers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Sep 26th 2024, 2:05am EDT

Saquon Barkley could be in for extra work in Week 4 given the uncertainty surrounding Philadelphia's primary wide receivers. Both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith missed practice on Wednesday, which leaves their status for this week in question. Barkley has been no stranger to large workloads early in his Eagles tenure. He has 73 touches through three games. Barkley will now face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense which has allowed the most receiving yards and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Barkley's ability as a dual-threat running back should be on full display in this game, making him a no-brainer RB1 this week.
