From the episode

You're not buying confidence in the offense...You're buying touches. He is going to get touches almost surely as long as he's on the field, he's going to get like 18 to 20 touches a game...he's breaking a lot of tackles. He's creating yards after the after contact elite level so far, even though it's a small sample.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Elite tackle-breaking and guaranteed volume make Barkley worth trading for despite Eagles' offensive struggles.

Barkley is a buy-low candidate despite early disappointment and a stinger injury; the source argues you're buying guaranteed volume (18-20 touches per game) rather than confidence in the Eagles offense; Barkley's underlying metrics are elite—he's breaking tackles and creating yards after contact at an elite level despite a small sample; the Eagles offense is still finding its footing (75% of snaps in 11 personnel vs. 58% last year) and just lost Goddard; the source suggests packaging players like Delmarion Hampton, Cam Saquon, or Devon Achane to acquire him; the Eagles have the 7th or 8th easiest schedule rest of season.
