Saquon Barkley fantasy football insight from The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast

Saquon BarkleyRB

Barkley played 3.5 points per game below expected last year, largely due to poor offensive line play, but the analyst is 'kind of neutral' because while there's fear his explosiveness has declined (1.4% 20-plus yard run rate, worst of his career), his base usage actually improved year-over-year compared to his Super Bowl-winning season.

Source transcript excerpt
Saquon is next on this list. Three and a half points per game below expected last year for Saquon. And that's largely driven by... I mean, Kevin Matulos sucks... But, like, I really do think the Eagles are going to be a lot better this year... There is some fear with Saquon that this could just be the turning point of his career. And he's just not as explosive as he used to be. He had a 1.4% 20-plus yard run rate last year, which was the worst of his career... But if you look at his base usage, he actually had a better running back rush share and target share year over year... So, I'm kind of neutral with Saquon at this point.
