FantasyPros Articles on Saquon Barkley
From the article
The Eagles dealt with many injuries on the offensive line, with Lane Johnson missing eight games... The Eagles' offensive line is healthy this season, and Pro Football Focus (PFF) projects them as the number two offensive line in football. We should see some positive regression in these metrics this season... New play-caller Sean Mannion is expected to provide a substantial upgrade for Barkley, and the Eagles will remain a run-heavy team.
STACKED’s take
Barkley's down year was scheme/injury-driven; Eagles line health and new OC signal regression upside.
Despite finishing outside top-10 RB last season, Barkley is undervalued at ADP 15 (RB10) because his regression was driven by Eagles offensive line injuries (Lane Johnson missed 8 games) and poor play-calling under Kevin Patullo, not declining talent. His yards before contact dropped to 1.36 (23rd in NFL) from 2.64 (led league in 2024); with PFF projecting the Eagles' line as #2 in football and new coordinator Sean Mannion expected to provide substantial upgrade, positive regression in efficiency metrics is likely. Even in down season, Barkley finished top-10 in evaded tackles and breakaway runs, and the Eagles remain run-heavy post-A.J. Brown departure. Barkley deserves first-round draft capital.
