Barkley at RB16; keeping open due to 5+ YPC, 80% goal-line share, mean reversion likely.

Matthew Berry has Saquon Barkley ranked RB16, lower than usual, but is keeping him open due to elite talent despite disappointing early-season performance. Barkley is averaging over 5 yards per carry and seeing 80% of the Eagles' goal-line rushes, suggesting mean reversion is likely. Against the Rams, the Eagles' offensive line is healthy. Berry notes the Eagles are 2-1 and playing a losing Rams team at home, making this a favorable spot.
