Saquon Barkley: fantasy bust or turnaround candidate?

Saquon Barkley was a consensus top-10 fantasy RB this summer. He's currently the RB33. Here's why his slow start isn't a fluke and why he's headed toward his least productive per-game season.

This past Monday night, Barkley had two opportunities at the goal line. He couldn't punch it in. Those were his first two attempts inside the opposing five-yard line in 2026. Unfortunately, his usage in these high-leverage situations has declined in recent years. Assuming this trend continues, he'll find it tougher to score.
