Saquon Barkley expected to return; Chase Brown struggles ahead of Week 7

Saquon Barkley is trending toward a return for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7 after missing two games due to a hamstring injury. He faces a Dallas Cowboys defense that ranks worst in the NFL for rushing yards allowed. Conversely, Chase Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals is coming off a disappointing performance against the Miami Dolphins and is set to face the Baltimore Ravens, who have a solid rushing defense, making for a challenging matchup. Analysts suggest Barkley is the preferable start for fantasy managers this week due to his favorable matchup. Brown's situation remains less optimistic, particularly with the emergence of teammate Samaje Perine as a viable option.
