Saquon Barkley, who led the NFL in EPA on 'read option' carries last season... It might come if a new level is unlocked for Saquon Barkley in an under-center, wide zone rushing attack — that's new to the running back, just as the play-action fakes and intermediate middle throws are new to Hurts.

Barkley's read-option EPA lead positions him for new-system upside under Mannion.

Barkley led the NFL in EPA on read-option carries last season. Under new coordinator Sean Mannion's system, which emphasizes under-center formations and wide-zone rushing concepts (a departure from the previous inside-zone-heavy approach), Barkley may unlock a new level of production. The Eagles' shift toward wide-zone and stretch concepts is new to Barkley, and combined with Hurts' improved quickness and more frequent under-center operation, there is potential for Barkley to thrive in the new offensive scheme.
