I've been pretty bullish on Barkley's bounceback case for 2026, and I have him ahead of Kenneth Walker and Ashton Jeanty, who Matthew prefers in his rankings. Barkley's 2025 campaign was mostly situation-based, as Kevin Patullo called a vanilla offense, while the offensive line was rarely at full strength.

Pfeifer bullish on Barkley bounceback; 2025 decline was situation-driven, not talent.

Adam Pfeifer is bullish on Saquon Barkley's bounceback case for 2026 and ranked him ahead of Kenneth Walker and Ashton Jeanty, despite Matthew Berry preferring those two in his rankings. Pfeifer attributes Barkley's 2025 underperformance to situation-based factors: Kevin Patullo's vanilla offensive scheme and Eagles offensive line injuries, most notably RT Lane Johnson missing the final eight games with a foot injury, plus absences of C Cam Jurgens (two games) and Landon Dickerson (one game). The implication is that improved health and scheme should support a bounceback in 2026.
