The Facts: Barkley was a good guy to have in fantasy football last season. Until the fantasy playoffs. In Week 15 — the fantasy playoffs — Barkley gained just 31 yards and didn’t score a touchdown. Thursday, on his visit to the PFT Live set on Radio Row in Atlanta, Barkley apologized to fantasy players. “I let you guys down,” Barkley said. “I sincerely apologize I let you guys down there. It won’t happen again next year. But I’m probably one of the reasons you got there.”

Diehards Line: Barkley was having some fun with fantasy players. As PFT suggested, more fun than he or they had in Week 15. ... Still, it was obviously a huge season for Barkley, who carried his owners with great success for the bulk of the season. Successful enough that any Week 15 disappointment will have disapated by the time 2019 fantasy drafts roll around.
