Should I Start Saquon Barkley Or Josh Jacobs In Week 10? Latest Injury Update and Fantasy Outlok Ahead of MNF Matchup

Week 10 of the 2025-2026 NFL season concludes with the Green Bay Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. It will be a battle between the NFC North and NFC East’s first place teams.

Tonight’s game features two of the best running backs in the NFL as Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs take the field. Let’s take a look at their fantasy projections and who the better start would be.

Saquon Barkley Injury Update

Saquon Barkley suffered a minor groin injury in Week 8. Luckily for him, the team had a bye the following week, which allowed for another week of rest to recover from the injury.

While there was never much doubt of him missing the game, he wasn’t listed on the team’s final injury report, confirming that he will play in tonight’s game. The team also removed wide receiver A.J. Brown off the injury report as well.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley and WR A.J. Brown are both off the final injury report and good to go Monday night at Green Bay.
