Ron Stewart on Saquon Barkley

Video7 Running Backs with Legendary Upside in 2026 Fantasy FootballAugust 13, 2026

From the video

Saquon last year his minus.7 wins above replacement over expectation is because he was drafted early. Yes, he had 14.5 points per game. He was relatively healthy and was a fringe RB1, but he hurt your team because you drafted him so highly.

Negative signalBust

Draft-day landmine with long-shot upside

Saquon Barkley is labeled a 'landmine' for the previous season, with Ron Stewart noting his 2024 performance resulted in a negative wins-above-replacement value relative to his draft position. While he averaged 14.5 points per game and was a fringe RB1, he hurt fantasy teams because he was drafted too highly. Stewart categorizes him in the 'long shot' tier for the future, noting that while his 2024 production was buoyed by unsustainable long touchdowns and limited receiving work due to Jalen Hurts, there is potential for increased receiving usage and fewer 'tush push' goal-line scenarios.
