Running Back Rankings for Week 2 in Fantasy Football: Can Barkley Follow Up His Success?
Saquon Barkley made a significant impact for the Philadelphia Eagles right from the start. In his debut game, Barkley managed to score three touchdowns, making him the top fantasy running back in Week 1. He now has an opportunity to build on that performance as the Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons at home on Monday night.
However, Barkley is not the highest-ranked running back this week, nor is he the top choice in his matchup.
The fantasy football rankings for Week 2 utilize point-per-reception (PPR) scoring, a common format for both seasonal and daily fantasy leagues. Points are awarded as follows: one point for every 10 yards gained via rushing or receiving, one point for every 20 passing yards, six points for touchdowns, four points for passing touchdowns, and one point for every reception made.
