Saquon Barkley Looks To Dominate Eagles Again
6 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will look to dominate once again when the team takes on the Eagles in Week 12. Barkley rushed for 130 yards with nine receptions for 99 yards and one touchdown in Week 6 against the Eagles and Philadelphia's defense has slipped over the past few games. They have been torched by Ezekiel Elliott, Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara in recent weeks and Barkley will once again be the focus of the Giants offense. The rookie is having a phenomenal season with 758 rushing yards, 64 receptions, 540 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns. Barkley is a premium RB1 and needs to be in all lineups for Week 12.

Saquon Barkley Contained By Chiefs In Super Bowl Win
1 month agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 57 yards on 25 carries during Sunday's Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He also caught six of his seven targets for an additional 40 yards through the air. Barkley had a rare quiet game on the ground, averaging just 2.3 yards per carry despite handling heavy volume. He did boost his per-touch average with some solid receiving work, including an impressive catch down the right sideline. All in all, even though this certainly wasn't Barkley's best game, it may have been one of his most memorable. The Eagles toppled the Chiefs on the national stage, securing a Super Bowl title and ending Kansas City's run at a three-peat. The victory was a rewarding end to a phenomenal season for Barkley, who bet on himself by leaving the Giants to sign with Philadelphia, where he ultimately won Offensive Player of the Year. As long as Barkley stays healthy throughout the offseason, he should be the consensus 1.01 in 2025 fantasy football drafts.

Saquon Barkley Faces Toughest Test Yet
1 month agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley enters the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs amid a historic postseason run. He has racked up 344 yards on outside runs in the playoffs, averaging an incredible 9.3 yards per carry. However, he now faces a Chiefs defense that has not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season, and in 18 consecutive playoff games. Barkley's usage remains elite, as the Eagles run the ball more than any other team in early downs and inside the red zone. While Kansas City will key in on stopping him, Philadelphia's dominant offensive line should create opportunities. The Chiefs may force Jalen Hurts to beat them, but Barkley's explosiveness and ability to break tackles make him a serious threat if given enough volume.
