Saquon Barkley: sits out Wednesday with hamstring and back

THE FACT. The Eagles listed Barkley as a non-participant Wednesday with hamstring and back injuries on their estimated Week 8 report. NBC Sports Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro reported Barkley lasted only 10 snaps in Monday night's loss to Dallas and said he would not have practiced Wednesday in any case.
THE VERDICT. Redraft: hold him, but secure a replacement now rather than Sunday afternoon. Two separate soft-tissue problems on a short week ahead of Sunday night at Washington is a real risk, and Friday's report is the one that settles it. Dynasty: hold, nothing here changes his value. DFS: fade until he practices, then revisit him at a likely discount.
