Saquon Barkley vs. DAL — Primed for Heavy Workload in Monday Night Return

Saquon Barkley is trending toward playing on Monday night after logging a full practice on Saturday despite carrying a questionable tag with his hamstring injury. With backfield mates Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley sidelined, alongside quarterback Jalen Hurts and receiver DeVonta Smith being out, Barkley is poised to operate as the focal point of Philadelphia's offense.

Our weekly projections expect around 15 carries for 71 rushing yards and two receptions, generating roughly 12 to 14 fantasy points. While lingering soft-tissue risk remains, his monopolized backfield touch share cements him as a strong start across all fantasy formats.

Outlook Ryan Flournoy

Expanding Slot Target Share Gives Ryan Flournoy Deep Flex Appeal

Flournoy enters the week operating as Dallas' starting slot receiver, with KaVontae Turpin sidelined due to a rib injury. His involvement has surged over his last two contests, securing 10 of 13 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown as his roster rate climbed to 30%.

Our weekly projection tabs Flournoy for 8.7 fantasy points on six targets and 38 receiving yards. With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens drawing coverage outside, Flournoy serves as a reliable underneath option against a struggling Philadelphia defense, making him a viable deep-league flex play.
