Ron Stewart on Saquon Barkley

55% snaps, goal-line work stolen; high-end RB3 with hamstring.

Saquon Barkley's role has been significantly constrained despite recent improved performance. After a one-game doghouse situation (Naji Harris was cut), Barkley played well with explosive runs and a game-sealing carry, but only received 55% of snaps. More critically, Jameus Winston and Tyron Tracy stole "pretty much all of the goal line work," which undermines Barkley's value. Ron Stewart notes the role is now "between the 20s rushing" rather than the anticipated goal-line and receiving work, making him a "high-end RB3" rather than a premium back. Barkley also suffered a hamstring injury on the final play, though Stewart expects he'll be fine after the bye-week.
