Free-agent running back Saquon Barkley is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million deal. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money and has an additional $9 million available in incentives. After a 2018 rookie season that saw the former Penn State star go for over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns, he has struggled to stay healthy over a chunk of the next five years of his career. He missed 21 games from 2019 to 2021. He bounced back in 2022 with 1,312 rushing yards but regressed to 962 yards in 14 games in 2023. However, the Eagles believe in him as a game-changing running back, as his average salary ($12.58 million) ranks only below Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Jonathan Taylor. Although the Eagles' offensive line could take a hit after the retirement of Jason Kelce, Barkley should be playing behind the best offensive line of his career in 2024. He will have an immediate high-end RB1 upside in fantasy football.

The New York Jets will not be inquiring with retired quarterback Tom Brady about any interest in a return to football after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending torn left Achilles on Monday night in the win over the Buffalo Bills, according to sources. Brady has also made it clear to people close to him that his playing days are officially over. That puts an end to those with hopes that we'd see the GOAT back in a football uniform in 2023. Rodgers' injury has thrust Zach Wilson back into a starting role, and Tim Boyle is the only other signal-caller on the team's roster, so they'll surely be looking to bring in another QB to give them more depth. It just won't be the best quarterback to ever play the game.
Still trying to decide between Barkley and Brady? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Saquon Barkley is projected to score 16.4 points this week while Tom Brady is projected to score 0.0 points.
