Saquon Barkley

Over the last seven weeks, Barkley s 4.7 rushing average is tied with Bijan Robinson for 5th-highest in the entire NFL.

The Eagles had nothing working in the pass game Monday night against the Chargers. But the run game finally got going. Saquon Barkley racked up 122 yards and a TD on 20 carries, thanks primarily to a re-emergence of chunk plays. Barkley's biggest strike came from 52 yards out for a lead-grabbing TD early in the fourth quarter. He added three other runs of 10+ yards, including a first-half sequence that produced 19- and 10-yard gains on consecutive first-down carries.

Barkley was churning out consistently mediocre gains prior to the 52-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter, which would go down as the only touchdown of the game for the Eagles. His breakaway run came on a feigned tush push on third and one in which quarterback Jalen Hurts pitched the ball to Barkley on the edge. Barkley exploded through the first level and was off to the races. While fantasy managers can't complain with the returns in a difficult matchup, the explosive run against the Chargers was only his third rush for more than 20 yards this season after notching 17 such carries in 2024. He'll get a much softer matchup on the ground against the Raiders in Week 15.

Barkley took 20 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in either of his targets in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

The Eagles had third-and-1 to start the fourth quarter from their own 48-yard line.
