Saquon Barkley, the 2024 running back one, now enters 2026 as your running back nine. To me, I think there's an outside shot that he might sneak back into the top three or top four runners by the end of the season here with Saquon. Yeah, it's definitely possible. They need the offensive line to be legitimately healthy. It's the same five starters. They added a swing tackle in the third round who's just a complete giant in Mark Hell Bell. But it's the same starting five. They just missed so much time and even when they were out there it was like very clear that like Landon Dickerson, for example, was not the same player. Hopefully that kind of regresses. We're expecting A.J. Brown to leave, enter Mekhi Leven. I don't think that really changes things for for Saquon Barkley. It's just we need the explosive plays again cuz like that that disappeared this last year because the offensive line was bad.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Barkley is ranked RB9 with an outside shot to sneak back into the top 3-4 if the Eagles' offensive line stays healthy, as his yards before contact dropped from 3.8 to 2.5 last year due to blocking issues, not declining ability.
