Barkley averaging 136.5 yards per game vs. Commanders; weak run defense.

Faces a Commanders run defense ranked 30th in yards allowed and 27th in yards-per-attempt last season, creating a favorable matchup. Since joining the Eagles in 2024, Barkley has faced the Commanders four times and is averaging 136.5 yards per game against them: Week 11 (26 carries, 146 yards, 2 TDs), Week 16 (29 carries, 150 yards, 2 TDs), NFC Championship (15 carries, 118 yards, 3 TDs), Week 16 2025 (21 carries, 132 yards, 1 TD). His second-best game of last season came against the Commanders in December with 132 yards on 21 carries, 117 of which came after contact. The Eagles' healthier offensive line in 2026 and new wide-zone rushing attack should support another big game.
