News: 4 days agoBarkley carried the ball 26 times for 205 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.

Spin: Most of his yardage came on two long touchdowns, a 62-yard dash late in the first quarter and a 78-yard score that put the game away in the fourth. Between the regular season and the playoffs, Barkley has 2,329 rushing yards through 18 appearances, leaving him 147 short of Terrell Davis' all-time NFL record. As the focal point of the Philly offense, Barkley will take aim at that mark while trying to help his team reach the Super Bowl next Sunday against the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Barkley left the rival Giants for the superior offense down the New Jersey Turnpike, one stacked with elite options at quarterback, wide receiver and, perhaps most importantly, along the still-dominant offensive line. Barkley's 2023 numbers may appear average, but blame the underwhelming New York offense, from the players to its direction. Still blessed with elite skills, a mostly healthy Barkley finished ninth among running backs at 15.9 fantasy points per game, and he may return to his 2022 numbers (1,312 rushing yards, 57 catches) in this top offense. Barkley is a first-round fantasy pick and potential top-three fantasy RB provided health (one never knows) and volume (no problems there).
