Barkley ran for 64 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 31 yards and one touchdown on three targets against the Chargers on Sunday.
The per-carry returns were slightly disappointing against a Chargers defense that normally struggles to contain the ground game, but it was encouraging to see Barkley take up a big workload in his fourth game back from his major Week 5 ankle injury. In Week 15 Barkley gets a rematch against the Dallas defense that he was injured against in that ill-fated Week 5 game.
