Eagles Rest Saquon Barkley for Finale

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is set to be rested in the regular-season finale against the New York Giants, effectively ending his pursuit of breaking Eric Dickerson's long-standing single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards. Barkley finished the season with 2,005 rushing yards, making him the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 yards. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni cited the team's secured playoff position as the reason for resting starters, including Barkley, who had a stellar season but will prioritize team health for the playoffs. Players within the Eagles locker room expressed mixed feelings on the decision, with some favoring rest while others pushed for the opportunity to achieve history. Barkley himself remains supportive of whatever decision is made regarding his participation. As the Eagles gear up for the postseason, Barkley's performance this season solidifies his status as a top running back heading into the next fantasy football season.
