Assume all 3 get 275 carries and catch 50 balls - one, I don’t believe Barkley is a sub 4 ypc guy. Two, he is the best pass catcher. Being a rookie means nothing to me in this situation


Barkley was a 5.7 ypc guy in college and only a high volume pass catcher in one season.

ETA: He was sub 5.0 ypc in 7 games in 2017. I'm just not sold that Barkley is the sure thing that most people think he is.

There’s more to Barkley if you dig into the metrics, especially his pass catching ability. Measure the rest of his team etc

I’m only “sure” of him to the degree that his floor is that of a plodder RB with lots of volume, which still has 2-3 rd value.
