Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley was among a select group of names mentioned as a potential first-overall pick in fantasy this summer. He was often drafted third or fourth, behind Ja’Marr Chase and Bijan Robinson, with some also preferring an elite receiver, or Jahmyr Gibbs.
Wherever he was drafted, though, he has undoubtedly been a huge disappointment, having registered just one top-10 week at the position, an RB7 finish in Week 1. Barkley has now scored fewer than 10 fantasy points in two straight weeks, which has to be alarming for owners.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense has been less reliant on the run game in 2025 and hasn’t dominated games like last season. That has meant far more aggressive second halves and less run-heavy, time-dissolving drives to see out games.
That said, Barkley is still one of the best running backs in football, and his current form is his absolute floor. There aren’t many easy games for Philadelphia, but Barkley doesn’t need easy games to produce big numbers.
However, five of his remaining 10 opponents ranked in the bottom 10 against the run heading into Week 7 (yards allowed per attempt). Barkley has plenty of big weeks ahead and should be pursued as a middling RB1 in trades.
Kyren Williams, RB, Los Angeles Chargers
Another top fantasy back who could be a worry for owners is Los Angeles Rams star Kyren Williams. The Rams thrashed the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, but Williams posted his lowest fantasy numbers of the season (8.5).
That coincided with Blake Corum seeing a significant spike in opportunities, as the Rams saw a comfortable win. Williams’ drop-off and Corum’s jump can be attributed to the blowout nature of the Rams’ win, but should provide the base for any trade conversations.
More savvy players will be unmoved by Los Angeles’ opportunity share in Week 7, but there could be a buy-low window in home leagues if you can argue convincingly enough.
Should You Start or Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 8?
Tyler Allgeier has been unable to carve out a viable niche in this offense, and given the success rate of Bijan Robinson, Atlanta’s RB2 is a handcuff and nothing more.
There’s nothing wrong with that. He has a clear-cut path to fantasy viability, and that’s not the case for the majority of backfields in the NFL. We can address the team concerns should this situation come to light (Atlanta ranks 26th in running back yards gained before contact, leading to the thought that Robinson’s success has more to do with his talent than his situation), but for now, he’s a nice depth piece that holds no standalone value.
