2024 Fantasy Outlook
Barkley's career has generally been a difficult one due to injuries and the struggles of the Giants offenses, but his rare talent usually shines through and provides fantasy investors with solid production despite the grueling nature of his workloads. The hope now is that by going from the Giants to the Eagles there might be a chance for Barkley to finally find some open field as a ballcarrier, not to mention more scoring opportunities. The Eagles offense made Miles Sanders one of the league's most productive runners just two years ago, so putting Barkley in the same scheme could result in one of the league's best outputs at running back. The retirement of center Jason Kelce is a bummer, but it's something the Eagles should be able to manage, as the offensive line left behind is still much better than what Barkley ever had with the Giants. D'Andre Swift claimed 229 carries and 49 targets in 16 games last year, so those numbers probably represent Barkley's floor for usage if he stays relatively healthy in his age-27 season.

2018
After three years of injury troubles, including an ACL tear, Barkley rebounded in 2022 with his best and healthiest season since his 2018 debut campaign. New coach Brian Daboll did a good job rebuilding the Giants offense, which set the stage for Barkley to reestablish himself as one of the top fantasy running backs. He looked mostly back to the form he showed his rookie year, which featured his previous career high in rushing yards (1,307). The one thing missing last year was a return to his rookie-season receiving production; 76 targets were fifth most among RBs but still 45 fewer than in 2018. Daboll tried to avoid putting too much pressure on Daniel Jones, but if the Giants put more on Jones' shoulders this year it won't necessarily be bad for Barkley's fantasy value. He's locked in for a huge share of the rushing workload already, with fifth-round pick Eric Gray the only new addition to a backfield that was lightly used last season with Barkley averaging a career-high 18.4 carries per game. The question now is whether or not Barkley signs his franchise tag in time for Week 1, after he and the Giants couldn't agree on a long-term contract before the mid-July deadline.
