Yahoo Sports NFL on Saquon Barkley

Barkley set up for heavy volume against weak Commanders run defense.

Saquon Barkley is positioned as the Eagles' primary offensive weapon in Week 1 against Washington. The Eagles plan to lean heavily on Barkley in the backfield, running the ball down Washington's throat. Washington ranked 27th in the NFL last season in opponent yards per rushing attempt and didn't improve the run defense in the offseason, making this a favorable matchup for Barkley's volume and efficiency.
