We’re roughly halfway through the NFL’s regular season and the fantasy football playoffs are on the horizon. These are the 10 storylines you need to know coming out of Week 8.

Barkley entered Week 8 averaging 3.3 yards per carry with a season-high of 88 rushing yards. He eviscerated the Giants with a 14/150/1 rushing line plus a receiving touchdown. Nothing changed with his ability to create yards after contact versus the Giants. He averaged 2.4 YAC per attempt, the exact same mark as his season-long average.

Barkley logged his first and second 20-yard gains on the ground of the season, one of which was a 65-yard score.
