Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Saquon Barkley
From the video
I got Saquon Barkley. He looks good. 5.1 yards per carry. That's an extra yard over what we saw last season. He's also up there. Best RBs, yards after contact, tackles avoided per carry... zero scores on the season, just three receptions for six scoreless yards as a receiver... Saquon has been the most inefficient rusher inside the five yard line in football
STACKED’s take
RB10; 5.1 YPC (elite efficiency) but zero TDs; most inefficient in red zone; positive regression expected
Ian Hartitz ranks Saquon Barkley as RB10. Barkley is posting 5.1 yards per carry, an extra yard over his 2023 season average, and ranks among the best running backs in yards after contact and tackles avoided per carry. However, he faces a significant touchdown drought: zero scores on the season with just three receptions for six scoreless receiving yards. He's been the most inefficient rusher inside the five-yard line in football, converting only one of his last 11 carries inside the five into touchdowns dating back to last season. Barkley has 34 combined carries and targets without a touchdown. Despite the touchdown drought, his underlying usage remains solid, and Hartitz expects bigger and better things to come, emphasizing that Barkley is "really damn good at the game" and praising the Eagles offense, suggesting strong positive regression potential.
