2024: Fantasy managers had long wondered … what would Saquon Barkley look like in an actually good offense? Even the biggest Giants haters found his reply — the RB1 overall finish in every format — to be a bit much. Barkley posted the ninth 2,000-yard rushing season in NFL history and supplied fantasy football titles everywhere you looked. His historic year came even as he caught a career-low (for a healthy season) 33 passes, and despite Jalen Hurts vulturing 14 scores on the ground. He was just that explosive and productive.
What's changed: Those lack of receptions and continued touchdown competition make Barkley a shakier bet than you might expect to repeat as the clear-cut RB1 overall, but this remains a match made in fantasy heaven. 1,400 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns is probably his floor. His ceiling — a Canton-level performance — remains unchanged.
2025 Outlook: Barkley has a long injury history and at 28 years old has entered what can sometimes be the 'running back age cliff,' but any reason to fade him is purely theoretical. He's a safe selection at the very top of fantasy drafts.
