The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Detroit Lions in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Saquon Barkley.
Is Saquon Barkley Playing in Week 11?
Barkley is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Eagles’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Barkley in Week 11?
It’s been far from a banner year for Saquon Barkley (30.1% over expectation in 2024, but only two games at that level through 10 weeks this season), but a season-high 25 touches in the win over Green Bay on Monday night points to a healthy version of him, and that’s really all we can ask for.
The Eagles are built around the ground game, and even with their star RB losing more than a full yard in yards gained per carry before contact this year compared to last, he’s picking up 10+ yards on over 10% of his attempts, and that’s stabilizing his value.
The fall from an 82.9% gain rate to 73.8% is obviously concerning and lowering his floor, but better times should be ahead with three games still remaining against bottom-6 pre-contact run defenses.
He may not be the value you were hoping for in the first round, but you could have done worse, and I believe the best days are in front of him this season.
