Analysis

Barkley's new deal reportedly includes $36 million fully guaranteed at signing, plus incentives worth up to an additional $15 million, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year, Barkley's arrival in Philadelphia transformed the team's identity, resulting in a season which ultimately culminated in a Super Bowl LIX victory over Kansas City. Barkley will warrant consideration for the No. 1 overall pick in 2025 fantasy drafts, with the Eagles set to return a top-end offensive line to open holes for one of the most explosive and versatile threats from scrimmage in the league.

Analysis

Playing in his first Super Bowl on his 28th birthday, Barkley filled his usual workhorse role but finished with unremarkable numbers on the ground. However, the prized offseason acquisition ground out some tough yards throughout the night to help keep the clock running, and he was a key outlet receiver for Jalen Hurts on multiple occasions while posting a team-high number of receptions that also served as his most yet in an Eagles uniform. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year also broke Terrell Davis' 26-year-old record for most combined rushing yards in a regular season and postseason, edging the former Bronco's mark of 2,476 yards by finishing with 2,490. Additionally, Barkley became the ninth player to rush for 2,000 yards in the regular season during his first campaign with Philadelphia, and despite his relatively nondescript night Sunday, there's no disputing his addition was key to the second Super Bowl win in franchise history.

Analysis

Barkley had a remarkable first season in Philadelphia, turning 345 carries into 2,005 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, while also catching 33 of 43 targets for 278 yards and two touchdowns over 16 regular-season games. The running back became the ninth player all-time to surpass 2,000 rushing yards and he edged out the likes of Ja'Marr Chase and Derrick Henry for OPOY. Barkley and his Eagles squad will look to defeat the back-to-back champion Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Analysis

Barkley broke free for a 60-yard touchdown run on Philadelphia's first offensive play, providing an emphatic counter to Washington's 18-play opening drive, which resulted in a field goal. His next carry also went for a touchdown, as Barkley capped the second Eagles drive with a four-yard score after the passing game got them close. He was tripped up at the 1-yard line after a 22-yard run in the third quarter on a drive that was capped by Jalen Hurts' third rushing touchdown of the game, but Barkley got a third rushing score of his own on a four-yard run in the fourth quarter. Philadelphia tacked on a seventh rushing touchdown from rookie Will Shipley down the stretch after the game was well in hand. Barkley's dream first season in Philadelphia -- both in terms of personal and team accomplishments -- will culminate in a trip to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9.

Analysis

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.

Analysis

The star running back could have produced even bigger numbers, but on his final tote of the day he elected to slide with nothing but open field in front of him to run out the clock, settling for a 17-yard gain rather than a potential 76-yard touchdown. It was still Barkley's first 100-yard playoff game in three tries after he managed a total of 114 yards on 18 carries over two postseason contests with the Giants. Barkley now has 2,124 rushing yards on the year between the regular season and the playoffs, the fifth-highest total of all time but still a fair distance behind Terrell Davis' NFL record of 2,476, set in 1998. Another big performance for Barkley, and another Philly win, in the divisional round could put that mark within reach.

Analysis

As was expected after the Eagles listed him doubtful heading into the weekend, Barkley will rest up in the regular-season finale while the Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Barkley will finish the regular season with 2,005 rushing yards -- the eighth-most in NFL history -- to go with 33 catches for 278 yards and 15 total touchdowns.

Analysis

Barkley needs just 101 rushing yards to break Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season record of 2,105 yards, but with the 13-3 Eagles locked in as the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs, he'll prioritize his health for the postseason above chasing down the record. Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley (concussion) -- if available -- are next in line for work out of Philadelphia's backfield, with Tyrion Davis-Price representing a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.

Analysis

The Eagles are clearly intent on getting Barkley to the all-time single-season rushing yardage record if Sunday's workload is any indication, as the seven-year pro logged his highest carry total since Week 8 of last season. Barkley generated his second-highest yardage tally of the campaign with the elevated volume, logging his sixth 100-yard effort in the last seven contests. The 2018 first-round pick eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark on the season with Sunday's gargantuan production, leaving him exactly 100 yards away from Eric Dickerson's 2,105-yard single-season record that has stood for the last 40 years. Barkley will have a premium Week 18 matchup with which to try and make history, as the Eagles host the Giants to close out the regular season.
