Bleeding Green Nation on Saquon Barkley

Barkley averaged 3.8 yards per carry in five-game stretch; efficiency concerns amid scheme change.

Saquon Barkley averaged just 3.8 yards per carry over the five-game stretch (2-3 record, 16.2 points per game) following Tank Bigsby's strong 7-carry, 86-yard performance in Week 1 against the Giants. Despite Bigsby's efficiency, the Eagles did not sustain his usage, instead continuing to rely on Barkley despite his declining efficiency. Barkley is also coming off his least efficient season, and the Eagles may need to lean more on complementary players given the offensive scheme transition.
