Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 119 yards in a playoff win against the Packers.

Dynasty Analysis

If this game was a week ago, Barkley would now own the record for most yards rushing in a season. Alas, it wasn't meant to be as he was held out last week. Still, Barkley did what we simply expect at this point - dominate touches and churn out yards. While he didn't score, it was still much of the same we've seen all season. Barring an injury, Barkley looks like a prime candidate to be the overall RB1 next season and a top trade target for contenting dynasty teams.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 57 rushing yards, six catches and 40 receiving yards in a Super Bowl win over the Chiefs.

Dynasty Analysis

Barkley struggled to run against a Chiefs defense that sold out to stop him. However, you won't see him complain as the Chiefs picked their poison and got stung by his supporting cast. Barkley is the most talented and productive running back in the league and should be in line to be the overall RB1 again next season. While his dynasty value is capped by his age, few players can win you weeks like he can.

Saquon Barkley was named the league's Offensive Player of the Year.

Dynasty Analysis

After signing as a free agent, Barkley became just the ninth player to reach 2,000 rushing yards and finished just 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record (2,105). He also had seven 60-plus-yard touchdown runs, the most in a single season. In a word, Barkley was dominant this year for Philly. His ADP has risen this season and he could simply the best "short-term" buy in all of dynasty leagues as he could put up two or three more seasons like this one.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a 55-23 blowout win in the NFC Championship game.

Dynasty Analysis

Well, if there were any questions about Barkley, they've been answered this season. Barkley was again a monster in this one as he took his first carry 60 yards to the house and just added on from there. He's the most talented running back in the league and while his age may give some people a little pause in terms of his dynasty value, he's clearly worked his way back up into the round one conversation in dynasty league start-ups. He's simply that good.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles win over the Rams.

Dynasty Analysis

Barkley added four catches and 27 receiving yards, along with touchdown runs of 62 and 78 yards on the day. It was just another day at the office for the NFL's best running back. Barkley wasn't affected by the snowy conditions and broke the back of the Rams on his two long runs. There really isn't much to say at this point. Barkley is going to be the favorite to finish next year as the RB1 and is a prime target for any contending team this off-season.

The Eagles are resting Saquon Barkley in their final regular season game.

Dynasty Analysis

It's the smart move for a team that has their playoff seed wrapped up and has Super Bowl aspirations. Still, it would have been fun to see if Barkley could have posted the final 101 yards to break the long-held record of 2,105 rushing yards by Eric Dickerson. Barkley's season ends with 2,005 rushing yards and a whole lot of happy dynasty managers. His status as a top-10 player won't change over the off-season.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 167 rushing yards in a win against Dallas.

Dynasty Analysis

Barkley now has 2,005 rushing yards on the season, becoming just the ninth running back to even surpass 2,000 rushing yards. And now it gets interesting. If the Eagles have nothing to gain next week, it's hard to see them throwing Barkley in harm's way, despite him being just 100 yards short of the all-time NFL record. Regardless, Barkley has reclaimed his spot as a top-5 dynasty running back this season and has been simply dominant all season.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a loss against Washington.

Dynasty Analysis

The Eagles blew the game, but that's hardly on the shoulders of Barkley, who has been dynamic for much of the season. Barkley is now 162 yards shy of 2,000 on the season and while the all-time record of 2,105 seems out of reach with just two games to play, this has been a historic season for the running back. Few veteran running backs see their dynasty value climb like his during a season, but he looks like the player we all dreamed of years ago now that he's with the Eagles.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 255 rushing yards, four catches, 47 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Rams.

Dynasty Analysis

Congrats on winning your fantasy matchup this week. Barkley's rushing total was a career high and featured two different touchdown runs of at least 70 yards. We've often wondered just what he could do if he was healthy and played behind a good offensive line. That question has been answered this season as he's already set a career high with 1,392 rushing yards through 11 games and could have the NFL record of 2,105 yards in his sights. In short, he's the RB1 this season and his dynasty value is back close to where it once was, despite him being 27.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 146 rushing yards, two catches, 52 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against Washington.

Dynasty Analysis

Barkley just continues to roll this season and tonight's game put him well over 1,000 rushing yards in just ten games. When you add in his nine total touchdowns, you have a running back making a run at overall RB1 status. Barkley looks rejuvenated in the Philadelphia offense and while there are always going to be concerns about possible injuries, he's looking a lot like the player who dominated fantasy football at times early in his career.
