Saquon Barkley fantasy football managers can exhale.

With the news, let’s take a look at Saquon Barkley‘s fantasy football ranking and analysis.
Saquon Barkley Fantasy Football Ranking & Analysis
After being ruled in, Saquon Barkley takes over his familiar spot near the top of our fantasy football rankings. Per Stokastic’s weekly running back rankings, Barkley (No. 7 on the board) is obviously a must-start for Week 14. Using our free player compare tool, you can match Barkley up against any other running back to make your lineup decisions.
Barkley is in the midst of a strong bounce-back campaign in his contract year, proving that he’s still one of the best play-makers in the game today. After averaging just 3.7 yards per carry last season, Barkley is up to 4.4 thus far, already having 1,055 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. But the eye-popping stats we were seeing from Barkley earlier in the season have been hard to come by in recent weeks. He hasn’t run for 70 yards in the past three games, but he has been able to score two touchdowns.
Luckily for Saquon Barkley, he’ll be going up against a Philadelphia Eagles team that has allowed some big rushing performances this season. However, they were able to hold Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry to just 30 yards on 11 rush attempts in their convincing 35-10 win in Week 13.
As long as his neck is fully healed, expect a heavy dose of Saquon Barkley against the Eagles today, and don’t be surprised if he busts loose for another big performance.
Per DraftKings, Barkley and the Giants are 7.5-point underdogs against the 11-1 Eagles.
