Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was listed as DNP Monday with a knee injury.

Related players: Will Shipley, A.J. Dillon, Tank Bigsby

This will be one to watch on a short week against the Giants. Barkley hasn't been much of a factor in the run game this season after going over 2,000 yards last year. He did catch a TD pass in Week 5's loss to the Broncos. We'll keep an eye on this one. If Barkley can't go on a short week, Dillon and Shipley will likely split the workload and Bigsby could be a factor as well.

Sources tell me Will Shipley does have a fractured rib and the move for Tank Bigsby is not only to add depth at the RB position but Bigsby can also help out on special teams including returning kicks...

Reports on Monday after the trade denied Shipley's rib injury was the reason for the deal, but it appears a fractured rib could cause him to miss time. This would better explain the trade for Bigsby. The Eagles did have a need for a kick returner however.

Trade: Jaguars are sending RB Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks, per sources.

For the Eagles, this seems like a bit of a surprise, but definitely adds some depth. Reports since the trade say Bigsby could be the Eagles kick returner. Shipley and Dillon each got three carries in Week 1 behind Barkley, but Bigsby seems like more of an upgrade for Dillon as both are more of between the tackles runners. For the Jaguars, many were waiting for one of Bigsby or Etienne to get moved, but after Etienne ran for 143 yards on 16 carries in Week 1, the Jags look to be comfortable giving Etienne the RB1 job. It's good news for Tuten owners, as the rookie now looks to be the team's RB2, and can probably be added in most leagues if he's on your wire.

Running back A.J. Dillon was placed on injured reserve and was not designated to return, meaning he is done for the year.

Dillon recently suffered another stinger and last week said he was awaiting test results. Head coach Matt LaFleur had said “absolutely there’s a concern” with Dillon’s injury, noting that Green Bay would proceed cautiously.

Dillon, 26, was expected to be the primary backup to running back Jacobs, and the team recently announced the rookie Lloyd will start the season on the PUP list and miss the first four games of the season at least. Wilson and Merriweather are now behind Jacobs, but it's possible the Packers will have to make a move at the position at least until Lloyd comes back.

Marshawn Lloyd is expected to start the season on IR -- they can do that now without missing 2024.

Lloyd is a rookie who injured his hamstring in the first preseason game. He was expected to slide right into the team's RB2 role behind Jacobs. But, that role looks like it now goes back to Dillon, who was unimpressive last year behind Aaron Jones. Lloyd will miss the first four games of the season.

Sources: Packers rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday afternoon.

The injury is not considered serious and he's expected to be fine for the season. However, we all know hamstring injuries can be tricky, so the team will be cautious with him, the post said. His time missed could set him back a bit on the depth chart, possibly making Dillon the RB2 to open the season behind Jacobs. Given Dillon's struggles last season, though, many feel Lloyd has a chance to earn the RB2 job at some point.

Matt LaFleur said he didn't think rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd (hip) would be out too long. He said probably would miss the next couple of days.

Lloyd has impressed in spring and it appears he'll be the team's RB2 behind Jacobs once the season gets started. Dillon is likely the third option and while reports say he's in great shape, Lloyd looks like the back you want to own as a backup to Jacobs.

Free-agent RB AJ Dillon is expected to re-sign with the #Packers pending a physical.

Related Players: Josh Jacobs

The Packers opted to bring in Jacobs to replace Aaron Jones but are keeping Dillon, who finished 2023 as one of the least efficient running backs in football. Dillon has become an afterthought for fantasy football and should likely remain there.

Christian Watson (hamstring), Jayden Reed (toe), De’Vondre Campbell (neck), Darnell Savage (shoulder), and Elgton Jenkins (shoulder) are present but not practicing.

Emanuel Wilson designated to return off IR and is practicing. A.J. Dillon also practicing after missing Sunday.

Related Players: Aaron Jones

We should expect the typical Packers RB split in Week 16, but Jones remains the higher-upside play here, and should be considered a low-end RB2, while Dillon is in FLEX considerations for deep leagues.

Christian Watson is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.

Questionable:

Jaire Alexander
Aaron Jones
Quay Walker
A.J. Dillon
Dontayvion Wicks
Darnell Savage
Eric Stokes

Related Players: Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft

With Watson's disappointing season continuing, both Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed should be considered WR3s heading into this weekend.
