STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Barkley's 40% PPR decline despite health shows high-volume back regression risk.

Barkley was cited as a cautionary example: despite staying healthy last year (addressing the primary injury concern for high-volume backs), he took a huge step back with an almost 40% decline in PPR points per game, demonstrating that even when injury risk doesn't materialize, massive workload backs can still underperform significantly.
