Saquon Barkley and Brian Robinson Jr. will be the featured fantasy football running backs to kick off Week 11 of the 2024 season. They are expected to be the starters when the Philadelphia Eagles face the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. They both have plenty of upside, but here's which one is a better pick this week.

Is Saquon Barkley a good fantasy pick in Week 11?

Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley has been one of the best overall fantasy football running backs during the 2024 season so far. His switch from the New York Giants to the Philadelphia Eagles during the offseason has been beneficial to his fantasy value, as he is having one of the best seasons of his entire career so far.

The superstar currently ranks as the overall RB3 entering Week 11 and has finished as the weekly RB1 three times. This gives him elite value against any opponent. But he will be even more valuable against a shaky Washington Commanders rushing defense allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game this year.

Is Brian Robinson Jr. a good fantasy pick in Week 11?

Brian Robinson Jr.

Brian Robinson Jr. has missed each of the Commanders' past two games with an injury but is expected to return to the starting lineup in Week 11 against the Eagles. He had a solid season before getting injured, ranking among the top 20 weekly running backs in five of his first seven games.

Robinson has been the leading running back for the Commanders this season, receiving at least 12 carries in his healthy games. He should reclaim his spot on top of the depth chart ahead of Austin Ekeler, making him an intriguing option in fantasy football lineups this week.
