Barkley's 9-snap workload and Washington's strong run defense limit upside despite efficiency.

Last week, Saquon Barkley finished as the RB20 with only 9 touches turned into 71 total yards on just 9 snaps while handling 28% of rushing work and running 2 routes. The source cautions that Barkley can't be expected to run this hot on such limited playing time weekly, despite his 15% explosive run rate, 2.42 yards after contact per attempt, and 23% missed tackle rate. Washington's run defense has also been strong, allowing the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, tenth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and ninth-lowest missed tackle rate over their last five games.
