Draft note

by John Paulsen

The Eagles upgraded from D'Andre Swift to Saquon Barkley, who finished as the fantasy RB16 in 13 games played in 2023. (He was the RB11 on a per-game basis, which didn't quite live up to his RB5 ADP.) Still in his prime, Barkley should fit in nicely with the Eagles' offense, though he's likely to see his receptions decline, at least a bit. Swift's receptions per game fell from 3.4 (with the Lions) to 2.4 last year with the Eagles. Still, Barkley is joining a much better offense and will command bell-cow touches, though touchdowns may also be an issue given the Eagles' ability to run the Brotherly Shove/Tush Push. He should go off the board near the 1st/2nd turn.

RB Saquon Barkley brings an all new element to the Giants offense, per HC Nick Sirianni

Speaking with NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero at the Annual League Meeting on Sunday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni noted how excited he is about the addition.

""I'm really excited about Saquon and the things that he can do," Sirianni said. "You know he's such a dynamic football player. Both as a running back and also the things he can do as a pass catcher. He's going to bring an element to our offense and to our team. As much as we see him, all the highlights that we see on the tape -- from my understanding and all of our homework he's a good leader and teammate, as well. To be able to add that into our locker room, and not only the playmaking ability, but the person, is really important."

Related Players: Kenneth Gainwell, Tyrion Davis-Price

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley should fill the role(s) of not only D'Andre Swift, but also Boston Scott, as the team let both walk in free agency while signing the veteran. Barkley is more than capable at filling both spots on the lineup card, and could be eating into Gainwell's touches as well. As long as he's healthy, he's a locked-in RB1.

PHI RB Saquon Barkley - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Saquon Barkley didn't enjoy the best of seasons in 2023, in what turned out to be his final season as a member of the New York Giants. But it was far from a disaster. Barkley finished with 962 rushing yards, the third time in four seasons he has failed to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark, and scored six rushing touchdowns. He also caught 41 passes for 280 yards and another four scores, but his 2.9 receptions per game marked a career low. Barkley finished as the RB9 in half-PPR formats.

Barkley signed an unusually large contract for the Eagles, given their usual desire to cobble together a running back room, and this gives him a spot on easily the most talented offensive roster he's ever played on in the NFL. A big question mark exists over how much receiving work he will receive, given the presence of other backs on the Eagles roster and Jalen Hurts low rate of targeting running backs in the passing game. But even so, he projects to be a top performer at his position in 2024, and mid-range RB1 numbers should not be too far out of his potential outcomes.
