Saquon Barkley

RB · #13

PHI · RB · Age 29

▲START

Saquon Barkley's recent carry share of 73.1% in his last game signals he is the primary rusher for PHI, despite competition from Jordan Mims.

Role & volume
Barkley has maintained a high rushing volume with an average carry share of 64.9% over his last four games, indicating he is the lead back in this committee.
Projected role
Despite Jordan Mims returning to the roster, Barkley's recent performance and team context suggest he will continue as the primary rusher for PHI, with a projected carry share of around 60-70%.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Barkley's floor is set by his lowest PPR points total in recent games at 6.8, while his ceiling remains high given his role and the potential for increased targets as a receiver out of the backfield.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

1
  • Target Volume

    2025 target share trended down across the season before stabilizing near 18% in the final month; camp reporting points to an expanded 2026 pass-game role, but that remains unconfirmed by live usage.

Opportunity Flags

2
  • Elite Production

    A real red-zone workload produced 12.3 expected touchdowns against only 9 scored, a -3.3 shortfall that marks him as a positive touchdown-regression candidate independent of any scheme change.

  • Scheme Fit

    New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion installed a wide-zone rushing scheme with heavier under-center usage for 2026, and camp reporting described a deliberate push to grow Barkley's role in the passing game.
