    "writeup": "Philadelphia kept Saquon Barkley's role fully intact last season, a 78 percent snap share that ranked third among all backs, 280 carries, 317 touches. The production under it sagged to 13.2 a game because the per-touch conversion disappeared: his scoring came in 26 points below what the usage was worth, one of the four worst gaps at the position, alongside 4.1 a carry, 12th-percentile yards after contact, and a 74 percent catch rate near the bottom of qualified backs. A rebound argument built on opportunity is legitimate here, since opportunity is the part he kept, and the consensus projects him back to 245 points and RB10 on nearly 296 carries. At 15.4 in half-PPR the market pays that projection in full, no age discount included, for a 29-year-old with eight seasons of tread whose after-contact yardage, the number that usually announces a big back's decline, just posted its warning. You're drafting the role and betting the runner reappears inside it, and at this price a mere repeat of 2025 loses the pick.",
