From the episode

Saquon Barkley is drafted as the running back seven. He finished last year as the running back 15 in points per game... I got ranked 11th overall. He's my RB five... There's just a lot of positive updates for this year's Eagles versus last year's one offensive coordinator... Saquon Barkley only converted one of his 11 goal line carries for touchdowns last year. That's just going to get better.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Drafted as RB7 but finished 2024 as RB15 in points per game; ranked 11th overall and RB5 by analyst despite high draft capital. Argument that he remains undervalued despite being at the one-to-turn. Positive updates include new offensive coordinator from Packers, expected offensive line health improvements (Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson returning), and only 1 TD conversion on 11 goal-line carries last year suggesting touchdown regression opportunity. Analyst notes slight decrease from age 29 but expects similar overall performance to 2024 when he was elite; workload should remain high. Offensive line health and coordinator change are key drivers for upside.
