  "account": "Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (26) is set to play in Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, making him a must-start in fantasy football lineups. Barkley expressed confidence on the return, though he plans to be cautious with his workload. Dallas has struggled against opposing run games this season, allowing an average of nearly 150 rushing yards per game. With Barkley back in the lineup, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee (16) and tight end Dallas Goedert (TE1) are expected to benefit from the added run threat. Wide receivers Makai Lemon (WR) and Darius Cooper (WR) may also see an uptick in targets as defenses respect Barkley's return. However, running back Dameon Pierce (RB) will likely see a significant reduction in his workload.",
