Saquon Barkley: no designation, set to play against Washington

THE FACT. Saquon Barkley carries no game designation into Sunday night's game against Washington and is set to play, per NBC Sports' Myles Simmons. He sat out Wednesday and Thursday with hamstring and back issues before returning as a limited participant Friday, and Philadelphia's own Thursday report listed him as a non-participant.

THE VERDICT. Start him, with eyes open. Barkley aggravated the hamstring against Dallas last week, so the snap count is the live question rather than the availability. Redraft: an RB1 start in a game Philadelphia has reason to keep on the ground with its receiver room thinned out. DFS: his price assumes a full workload, which makes him a better tournament play than a cash anchor. Dynasty: hold.
