STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Barkley's 15 carries, 5.5 YPC, and 78 yards after contact show elite creation ability despite weak blocking.

Barkley carried the ball 15 times for 83 yards (5.5 average) in Week 1, with his longest run a 42-yard explosive gain. The source emphasizes that only 5 of his 83 yards came before contact, meaning he gained 78 yards after contact—a flattering stat that speaks to his ability to create much out of nothing, though it also reflects the Eagles' blocking challenges.
