Saquon Barkley Week 13 Outlook - Titans at Eagles

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 1st 2022, 1:05pm EST

Barkley has had a rough couple of games recently, averaging 16 touches and only 43.5 total yards in Weeks 11-12. Last week I noted that Barkley's efficiency had begun to crater, but we have reached worrisome levels now. Barkley has seen his yards after contact per attempt drop in each of the last five weeks, with an abysmal 1.18 last week. Over his last seven games, he's surpassed 2.50 yards after contact per attempt only once. Let's also be clear this isn't an offensive line issue. Since Week 5, he ranks 18th in yards before contact per carry, but he's fourth worst in yards after contact per carry, with only Melvin Gordon, Jamaal Williams, and Devin Singletary finishing worst. Those names should open some eyes. This week doesn't look any kinder to Barkley. Since Week 7, Washington is 13th in rushing success rate, fourth in rushing yards per game, and sixth in explosive run rate allowed. Barkley is a low-end volume-based RB1.
