Saquon Barkley Propels Eagles Offense in 2024 Season

Looking ahead to the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles' offense is set to undergo a significant transformation with the addition of star running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley's arrival is expected to have a profound impact on the team's offensive strategy, as they shift towards a more run-centric approach.

Despite Barkley's presence, quarterback Jalen Hurts is projected to maintain his impressive rushing production, again going 150/630/14 on the ground. However, the team's passing volume is expected to take a hit as they rely more heavily on Barkley's ground game. This shift in offensive focus could potentially limit Hurts' overall fantasy football production, keeping him anchored away from the per-game point average of elite quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson.

Notably, Hurts missed most fantasy football championship games in 2024 due to a concussion. The team and fans will be closely monitoring his recovery and hoping for a full return to health in the upcoming season.

As the Eagles enter the 2025 campaign, they are expected to maintain their Barkley-centric offense, even with the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. The team's new play-caller, Kevin Patullo, is likely to continue the successful formula that was implemented after the team's bye last year.
