Traditionally, the switch from a mobile quarterback to a traditional pocket passer means more checkdowns to the running back. The receiving game was a major issue for Barkley before getting injured. This season, with Hurts as the starter, Barkley had only seen seven targets across four games—a pace that would have put him in career-low territory. The other factor in Barkley's value going forward is that the Eagles' running back room will have the easiest remaining strength of schedule.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Barkley is a buy-low with McKee at QB and easiest remaining RB schedule.

Buy-low opportunity as Eagles switch from mobile Hurts to pocket passer Tanner McKee, which historically increases checkdowns to running backs; Barkley had only 7 targets in 4 games with Hurts due to receiving game issues, but remains productive with 9th in missed tackles forced and 15th in EPA per rush; Eagles' RB room has easiest remaining strength of schedule after facing 10th-toughest opponents; Week 7 matchup vs Dallas should help offense get back on track.
