Summary

General manager Joe Schoen inherits a poorly constructed roster and knows he faces a multi-year rebuilding effort. The prior regime's decision to pick up Saquon Barkley's fifth-year option gives the new staff little choice but to make Barkley the offensive centerpiece, provided he can stay on the field. Barkley is on a shortlist of the league's best ball carriers when healthy. As a rookie, he led the league with 2,028 yards from scrimmage and scored 15 touchdowns. He can run inside with power, break outside, is deadly in the open field, and is an above-average route runner with soft hands. Unfortunately, Barkley has missed 21 games in the last three seasons and lacked his rookie explosiveness when active. As long as Barkley is healthy, expect him to get 15+ touches and be a valuable fantasy asset.
