Saquon Barkley Week 11 Outlook - Commanders at Eagles

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Nov 14th 2024, 5:21am EST

Saquon Barkley has been a bit inefficient after a blistering start to the season. Since Philadelphia's Week 5 bye, Barkley has posted weekly finishes of 33-3-25-1-25 among fantasy running backs. Barkley is averaging 111.2 rushing yards in that stretch, so it is not as if he is not carrying his weight. The main issue is that Jalen Hurts is vulturing most of Barkley's touchdown chances. That is the sort of issue that should regress in Barkley's favor over time. The Washington Commanders rank 24th in the NFL in defensive DVOA against the run, so we could see the touchdown pendulum swing toward Barkley as soon as Week 11. Barkley has an elite ceiling against a Commanders defense that may be a bit worn down on a short week after defending 43 rushing attempts in their last game.
