Saquon Barkley, Eagles: There’s not much more to say about the season Barkley is having right now except that either Barkley or Lamar Jackson is in line to win the league’s MVP. This week, the Eagles play a divisional game against the Cowboys, who have struggled to stop any team on defense. With Cooper Rush playing, Dallas might have a few more three-and-outs than usual, so look for Barkley to continue his MVP-type season with 100+ from scrimmage and a touchdown.
Bijan Robinson, Falcons
When the season started, Robinson was sharing carries with Tyler Allgeier, but as the season has gone on, he has become the bell cow running back that fantasy managers have envisioned. The Saints have let up 5.10 yards per carry and the second most touchdowns to opposing running backs. Look for Robinson to have about 70 or 80 yards rushing as well as 30 or 40 yards receiving with a good chance at a touchdown
Alvin Kamara, Saints
The Saints have lost so much on offense that there’s nowhere else to turn to except Kamara. Atlanta has been stingy against opposing running backs, but they have let up the fourth most receptions to the position. There might be no better receiving running back in the league, and with all the injuries the Saints have at wide receiver, Kamara should put up about 16 to 20 fantasy points.
D’Andre Swift, Bears
The Bears are in disarray, with many players speaking out negatively against head coach Matt Eberflus. There’s also been a lot of negative talk about Caleb Williams and how he has progressed thus far. At one point last week, wide receiver DJ Moore left the field supposedly with an ankle injury, but people are thinking that it’s way more than that. The one player that the Bears have been able to rely upon all season has been Swift. The Patriots have let up the second-most rushing yards to opposing running backs this season, as well as the second-most touchdowns to the position. Look to Swift to have 120 all-purpose yards this week with a TD.
Tyrone Tracy Jr., Giants
Please set your lineups early on Sunday morning because the Giants are playing at 9:30 on Sunday morning in Munich against the Panthers. The Panthers have let up the most rushing yards AND the most rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs this season. Tracy has been fantastic and has earned the role of Giants RB1 with his spectacular play of late. Tracy will have another great week rushing with about 100 yards and a touchdown.
