That said, this is a spot where I don't fully agree with our GL waiver wire tool. The bid recommendation for an average bid is $374, 37.4% of your full $1,000 FAAB. There's simply been too much downside with Barkley over the last year for me to get there, but he's someone I would still put a conservative bid on.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Barkley has elite matchup but downside concerns; bid conservatively at $175.

Barkley posted 9.0 fantasy points in Week 1 against a defense that allowed over 140 rushing yards per game in 2025, which was disappointing. However, he averaged 5.5 yards per carry (elite) and the Eagles ranked top-five in run-block grade in Week 1 (75 per PFF). He faces an elite matchup in Week 2 as the Eagles are 7-point road favorites against Tennessee. The source disagrees with the waiver wire tool's average bid recommendation of $374 (37.4% FAAB), citing too much downside from Barkley over the last year. The source recommends a conservative bid of $175 (17.5%), lower than the tool's lowest recommendation of $239.
