Barkley’s hamstring injury deepens concern about the Eagles’ offense
Shows repeatedly discussed Saquon Barkley’s hamstring injury after he left Philadelphia’s game, with Ross Tucker identifying the injury and Fantasy Footballers later calling him week to week.[1][2]
Pardon My Take said Barkley was banged up early and that Philadelphia’s offense and roster were already depleted by injuries.[3]
The Bill Simmons Podcast argued Barkley has had trouble staying on the field and left the game early, while also naming him a fantasy-murderer running back.[4][5]
Fantasy Footballers had earlier viewed Barkley as a risky matchup against a strong rush defense but still said his superstar ability made him playable because one run could change a fantasy week.[6]
The shows broadly agree that Barkley’s absence worsens an Eagles offense missing other important players, while Fantasy Footballers also discussed his broader value as a franchise running back.[7][8]
