Barkley's 27% route rate and weak rushing room suggest bounce-back bet is failing.

Barkley averaged a 50% route participation rate in 2025 with a season-low of 27%; in Week 1, he tied that low, running nine routes while Will Shipley ran seven. More concerning, Barkley failed to find any room to run behind a Philadelphia offensive line that is a far cry from the top-tier unit that helped him dominate in 2024. The source recommends selling him if you can cash in on his name brand for legit RB1 value, as his offseason ADP was a bet on a bounce-back that doesn't look likely.
