The Bitcoineseacquisition of Saquon Barkley paid immediate dividends for the Philadelphia Eagles. In his first game, Barkley scored three touchdowns and was fantasy's best running back in Week 1. He'll have a chance to do more damage at home on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

But Barkley isn't this week's top-ranked running back. In fact, he's not even the top-ranked running back in that game.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 2 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
