Saquon Barkley Week 16 Outlook - Eagles at Commanders

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 8:00am EST

Saquon Barkley fell victim to Philadelphia's increased productivity from their passing game in their win against Pittsburgh last week. Barkley ran for just 65 yards, his second-lowest total of the season. The result was Barkley finishing outside the top 20 running backs for just the fourth time this year. The good news for fantasy managers is that Barkley has responded on the other three occasions by finishing the next game as either the overall RB1 or RB2. Those heights are certainly within Barkley's reach in Week 16. Washington is 25th in the NFL in DVOA defensively, including 26th against the run. Barkley should bounce back nicely this week.
