Saquon Barkley is expected to return this week to play on Monday night. The dynamic back has averaged 5.1 yards per carry this season, totaling 182 yards on 36 carries. Interestingly, 59 of those yards came on just two carries. Without those two big gains, the yardage shrinks to 3.6 per carry. Barkley could be in for a boom or bust game.

Barkley's boom-or-bust profile (5.1 YPC with two 30-yard carries) faces Cowboys' defensive line.

Saquon Barkley is expected to return Monday night after averaging 5.1 yards per carry this season on 36 carries for 182 yards. However, 59 of those yards came on just two carries; without those two big gains, his average drops to 3.6 per carry. The source characterizes this as a boom-or-bust matchup, with Dallas needing to contain him by attacking an Eagles offensive line weakened by Lane Johnson's retirement, Cam Jurgens' mid-season trade, and injury-related shifting assignments.
