RB Saquon Barkley, PHI (3 Viewers)

[Dez]

What a difference a year makes the curse of 370 is real (and he had 482)

 

[EBF]

The week I don't pick him in DFS, he will go for 200/2.

you have to hold at this point and look at his fantasy playoff schedule as reason for optimism (full disclosure i sold 3 days ago )

Agree .. have to hold but wishing I could sell in dynasty. Don't want to bench either when he busts out again.

IDK what to do, my team is outside of the playoffs right now, and will likely lose this week, but I am one big week from being in playoffs. I have Saquon and Breece, frustration on high. Breece at least can move out of NY and have better days. Saquon might be in one of those quick declines. In a dynasty league, can you still get a 2026 1st for Saquon?

 

[calcinorjones]

Agree IDK what to do either. Blame game is over. Reality sinking in. Its basically keep plugging/praying, bench or trade. Trade is going to be difficult as the cat is out of the bag.

 

[packer_junkie]

Going to plug/pray---> maybe the downfield passing attack finally getting going will get him going.

Idk if its true or not but it feels like the tush push is on over-drive this year. 4 straight tush pushes inside the 5 last week? Seems crazy but whatever. Shouldn't have drafted this guy

Funny how one dynasty decision impacts your whole season. Spent my money in a contract league on Barkley instead of McCaffrey. Am 3-4. Would be 7-0 if I had gone the other way. It was a toss up but went with the “safer” option.

Oh well

FBG's had Barkley over Judkins this week.. and I went with it.. It's hard to finally make that decision to sit a dude with a record like his and who's mostly healthy on a team that's still good.. but the only way he can get his season back on track is if i bench him. So time to ride the Judkins train.. and i'm sure as soon as i commit to that switch that he'll have a high ankle sprain next week.

He was my big auction getter this year. Should have listened to the consensus post-2000 yards, etc. crowd.

So i knew all the history behind the post 2000 yard rushing season. Heard about the use stuff. But many of those guys after their big season still at least had a successful season unless they got hurt. I was in the camp that said well.. he's still a few years under 30.. on a good team, exercise science keeps getting better.. and between him and McCaffrey who on the day i drafted was listed as not having practiced that day and things "weren't looking good" i went with Barks. I could not have anticipated that in lieu of injury and in lieu of a team implosion that he just "wouldn't be good".

Yep, I was leaning CMC but went the “safer” route with Barkley. And also took him above Bijan because ATL had three OL injured. Then had the chance to trade him for Chase straight up and didn’t take it. Has completely sunk my team.

I drafted CMC last year at #1 and Barkley this year at #3. Oof.
