Saquon Barkley News
Wednesday, February 25, 7:02 AM
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni thinks running back Saquon Barkley will "be exceptional" in the new offensive system in 2026, according to Zach Berman and Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. Barkley had a down year by his standards in 2025, coming off a season in which he led the league in carries (345), rushing yards (2,005), and rushing yards per game (125.3). The 29-year-old had 1,140 yards and seven touchdowns on 280 rushing attempts in 16 regular-season games last year, when the Eagles had lows in yards per rush (4.2), average yards before contact (1.52), total rush EPA (minus-24.81), and rush-success rate (39.1) under Sirianni. The new offensive staff under Sirianni, led by offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, is expected to install "more zone-blocking concepts" that originate from the Shanahan tree. Barkley should still be considered an RB1 in fantasy despite his down 2025 season, and a bounce-back could be coming if he stays healthy.

CeeDee Lamb News
Saturday, February 28, 4:27 AM
Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Dallas Cowboys will restructure wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's contract. This news comes on the heels of the team's decision on Friday to place the non-exclusive franchise tag on fellow wide receiver George Pickens, who is expected to seek a long-term deal with Dallas. Lamb missed three games in 2025 due to injuries and had a disappointing end to the season in Weeks 16 through 18, but finished just inside the top 20 for the year. Playing on the opposite side of Pickens in 2025, Lamb saw a 23% target share, which is a slight drop from his 28% average since 2022. The 26-year-old receiver is still the lead pass catcher in Dallas and is a bona fide WR1 on an offense that has proven its ability to sustain two top wide-outs.
