Barkley's Usage Under Scrutiny After Eagles' Loss, Production Dips
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley's production has significantly dipped, averaging 62.2 rushing YPG from 125.3 last season. In their recent loss to the Cowboys, he rushed for 22 yards on 10 carries (2.2 YPC) and added 52 receiving yards. This marks his NFL-high seventh game this year averaging 3.3 YPC or worse. Barkley stated, 'I just got to be better.' The Eagles have noted a correlation: he receives fewer touches in losses, prompting a reevaluation of his role ahead of their game against the Bears.
