Eagles | Saquon Barkley adjusting training Sat Feb 21, 10:05 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said he isn't focused on heavy lifting at this point in the offseason. 'It's not really the mindset of putting 500 pounds on your back right now,' Barkley said. 'I'm working on trampolines. I'm working on a hula hoop of getting my body coordination back together.'

Eagles | Saquon Barkley excited about new OC Sat Feb 21, 05:22 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said he is excited to work with offensive coordinator Sean Mannion because he is bringing a new system to the team. 'As a competitor, you love it. You love the challenge of putting yourself in a new system and doing the things that you do really well, and also things that you need to improve on and that they're going to challenge us to do. I feel like if we are able to have that mindset as an offense and buy into that, I think the sky's the limit,' Barkley said.

Eagles | Defending champ Philadelphia eliminated at home Sun Jan 11, 07:53 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 20-of-35 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in an NFC Wild Card game loss against the San Francisco 49ers, while running five times for 14 yards. RB Saquon Barkley rushed 26 times for a game-high 106 yards with three receptions for 25 yards on six targets. RB Tank Bigsby had four runs for 19 yards, with RB Will Shipley chipping in with a 6-yard grab on his lone touch and target. WR DeVonta Smith posted team bests with eight receptions and 70 yards on 11 targets, while new dad TE Dallas Goedert had four receptions for 33 yards and a TD, while also running for a 1-yard score. WR A.J. Brown had three receptions for 25 yards on seven targets, but he also had a key drop in the fourth quarter and a shouting match with head coach Nick Sirianni during the game. WR Darius Cooper had a 9-yard catch on his only target, while WR Jahan Dotson didn't have a catch on his lone target. DB Quinyon Mitchell had two interceptions and three passes defensed, while DE Jalen Carter had three total stops, a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and a QB hit.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles offense has been a dysfunctional family all season, and it ended up being the downfall of the 2025 season for the team. AJ Brown had a terrible drop with the team driving to win the game, and was seen having a heated exchange with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sideline earlier in the game. That won't quiet speculation that he gets dealt in the offseason. The 49ers were without their starting linebackers, but the Eagles underachieved on offense all day. It could lead to both the firing of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and the hiring of 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as a head coach in this firing/hiring cycle - but not for at least one more week. Dallas Goedert is also a free agent, so there could be some major changes for this offense in the offseason. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran 22 times for 78 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders, while adding two receptions for 14 yards on three targets. He had his day end early in the fourth quarter with the Eagles way ahead.
| Footballguys view: Barkley didn't break free for a long score, but he did still find paydirt once in the easy win and got enough rushing volume to post a decent RB1 line for the second straight week. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley OK Mon Oct 27, 09:56 AM
Updating previous reports, Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (groin) likely could have returned to the game if it were closer, according to sources. The injury isn't believed to be serious.
| Footballguys view: Again, this falls into line with Barkley's post-game comments, and it was also the Eagles' official company line. Per the team, he could have returned to the game if needed. He wasn't. But, as Profootballtalk.com noted his morning, Barkley will be needed in 15 days, when the Eagles visit the Packers. The bye week will give Barkley plenty of time to get back up to full speed. Barkley had his best game of the season against the Giants. He rushed for 150 yards with a touchdown on just 14 carries. He caught four passes for 24 yards and a touchdown. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley says he might have returned if the game were closer Sun Oct 26, 08:24 PM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley did not play in the final quarter of Sunday's win over the Giants because of a groin injury he sustained on a 28-yard run at the end of the third quarter. Barkley indicated he might have played down the stretch if the score was closer, however, and didn't express any concern about being ready for the Packers game in Week 10 following the team's bye.
| Footballguys view: Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio reported the same during a Sunday Night Football pre-game appearance. Barkley had a breakout performance against his former team Sunday, rushing for 150 yards and a touchdown to pace the Eagles in their 38-20 win over the New York Giants. We'll continue to monitor throughout the Eagles' off week, with more definitive information likely to come when the team begins preparing for Week 10. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley plays well before injury Sun Oct 26, 05:00 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (groin) rushed for 150 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries against the New York Giants in Week 8 before leaving the game because of a groin injury. He also caught four passes for 24 yards and one touchdown during the game.
| Footballguys view: The injury looked like a minor nick or bump and Barkley will have his bye next week. Before the injury, Barkley's 65-yard score looked just like the 2024 Barkley that won championships for us. Tank Bigsby also ran hot, going over 100 yards on only nine carries. He's the pickup if you want Barkley injury insurance or if you're willing to hold a speculative value backup running back through their bye. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley held to 44 yards Sun Oct 19, 05:43 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 44 yards on 18 carries against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Barkley seemed to get shaken up at one point in the game, possibly a shoulder issue, and otherwise couldn't find room to run against the Vikings. He has been one of the more disappointing players of the first round of fantasy drafts, but the Eagles vertical passing game came to life in a good sign for the viability of the offense and touchdown opportunities to come for Barkley. Next, he'll face his old Giants team for the second time in three weeks. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected to be fine Tue Oct 7, 01:03 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (knee) is dealing with some soreness but is expected to play in the Week 6 game, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Barkley, 28, had just six rushing attempts and just nine total touches in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday at the Linc. But this is the first we have heard of a knee injury. Although he was listed as a nonparticipant, the Eagles did not have an actual practice on Monday and will not have one all week as they prepare to face the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Thursday Night Football on short rest. So Monday's injury report is an estimation. Expect Barkley to start and play as usual, barring further notice. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley Held Out Of Monday's Practice Mon Oct 6, 05:02 PM
The Eagles listed RB Saquon Barkley as a non-participant on their estimated injury report because of a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has just 83 carries for 267 yards through five games this year. It's his worst five-game stretch as an Eagle. After gaining more than 2,000 yards in 16 games last season, Barkley is on pace for less than 1,000 yards in 17 games this season. There's no indication any of this is injury-related -- or that Barkley is in danger of missing Thursday's game against his former team. But we'll watch for more. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley totals 88 yards, score Sun Oct 5, 07:25 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed six times for just 30 yards in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, but he added three receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown on his three targets.
| Footballguys view: Barkley got loose for a long receiving touchdown to salvage what would have otherwise been a very poor fantasy showing. The good news is that Nick Sirianni is highly unlikely to abandon the run again after the Broncos came back from a 17-3 deficit in the fourth quarter. Barkley also looked as fast as ever running down the ball while it was in the air for his touchdown. |

Things will be rough for Barkley next week against the Bucs, but overall, better fantasy days are ahead for him. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, and in two meetings with the Rams last season, Barkley ran for a combined 460 yards and scored four total touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: Barkley gives a lot of team nightmares. This year, Barkley has no carries over 20 yards - yet - and this could be the week he looks like he did last season. Every team is working to slow him down, but the Eagles give him a ton of work as the centerpiece of their offense. He's a no-brainer RB1 each week. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley better in second half of games Fri Jul 4, 10:08 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns during the second half of games during the 2024 season. He posted 760 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in the first half of games.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles will want to keep Barkley fresh after a 480+ touch season when the postseason is added to his final numbers. 2024 fourth round pick Will Shipley had a great spring and should play the Kenneth Gainwell role at a minimum after Gainwell signed with Pittsburgh in free agency. AJ Dillon is coming back from a neck injury and could be the early down backup, but Shipley is talented enough to claim that role too. When you are putting together a list of backup running backs to target late in your draft, Shipley should be on it. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley matched carries mark in 2024 Tue Jul 1, 12:26 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley totaled 436 carries, including the playoffs, during the 2024 season, which matched the highest number of carries in a season since 2000 -- former Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray logged an identical 436 carries in 2014.
| Footballguys view: Despite the massive workload, Barkley claims there are no aftereffects. "I feel really good," he said last month. "Like I'm entering my prime." But the concern is obvious. As Footballguy Gary Davenport pointed out, of the 30 running backs to surpass 370 carries in a season since 1980, only one, Eric Dickerson in 1984 (when he set the NFL all-time rushing record), gained more rushing yards the following year. Forty percent saw their production drop by over half. That said, Barkley is still this year's RB1, according to current ADP data, going with the second pick overall. |
