Philly easiest schedule in the league uh weeks 1 through 14. Hardest schedule in the league 15 through 17...Kevin Patulo being gone opens up this offense...there's a lot of optimis optimism surrounding him if this offense you know takes that big leap from what we saw last year...he'll be great 1 through 14...I really like taking him at that one two turn.

Elite 1-2 turn pick with easiest schedule weeks 1-14 to secure playoffs

David Montgomery likes Barkley at the 1-2 turn. Philadelphia has the easiest schedule in the league weeks 1-14, which will generate positive game scripts and high playoff probability, making him great for securing playoff entry despite the hardest schedule weeks 15-17. Kevin Patulo's departure opens up the offense, and there's optimism surrounding potential offensive improvement. Barkley won't repeat his 2,300-yard 2024 performance, but works well in multiple draft builds, including pairing with elite WRs like CD Lamb or Justin Jefferson.
