Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley rushed 24 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Packers, adding two receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown.

The Eagles’ offense got off to a slow start with two turnovers through eight plays and Barkley had lost two yards on his two rush attempts. He then silenced the washed allegations with an 18-yard, over-the-shoulder grab in the end zone for his first touchdown as an Eagle. Barkley continued making splash plays for the remainder of the game, primarily on the ground. He scored his second touchdown from 11 yards and punched in a third touchdown from the two-yard line. Barkley nearly scored a fourth touchdown on a 34-yard dash to end the fourth quarter but was brought down by Green Bay’s final line of defense. You couldn’t have asked for a better debut from the former superstar and it’s fair to say he seems to have regained that status in Philly. Barkley will rank as a top-five fantasy back for his Week 2 matchup with the Falcons.
