Coming off a Super Bowl win and 2K rushing yards in 2024, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a solid but unspectacular campaign last year. Barkley rushed for 1,140 yards on 240 rushing attempts and seven touchdowns while catching 33 passes for 278 yards and two scores in 16 games. The 29-year-old didn't show signs of slowing down, with a positive run percentage of 75.7% and a 19.3% broken-tackle percentage. The Eagles' offense struggled for most of last season as quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown couldn't get on the same page, injuries to the offensive line, and the loss of then-OC Kellen Moore caused Philadelphia's offense to take a step back. In a laundry list of offseason moves, the Eagles traded Brown to the Patriots, drafted USC wide receiver Makai Lemon in the first round, and hired Sean Mannion as their new OC. The Eagles will center their offense behind Barkley again in 2026, but could get backup running back Tank Bigsby more involved, as he was efficient spelling Barkley by averaging 5.9 yards per carry. RotoBaller is projecting Barkley with 1,632 rushing yards on 305 attempts with 12 touchdowns while catching 40 passes in 2026. While the Eagles have shaken things up this year on offense, Barkley should be among the leaders in the NFL in touches and rushing attempts per game, making him a borderline first-round pick in upcoming fantasy football drafts.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
