Kyle Long warned fantasy managers not to over-project Saquon Barkley’s touchdown totals in Philadelphia because the Eagles default to the "tush push" QB sneak whenever they reach the 1-yard line. Barkley posted 13 rushing scores last season—just three fewer than Derrick Henry’s 16—despite nearly matching Henry in rushing yards (only a two-yard difference). Long argued Barkley "should have 50 touchdowns a year" based on talent and workload, but the cheat-code sneak with Jalen Hurts siphons most low-red-zone carries. Unless the league bans the play at upcoming owners meetings, Barkley’s goal-line TD ceiling remains capped, lowering his value in anytime-TD props and limiting his upside as an early-round season-long pick.

Kyle Long said Derrick Henry will deliver "another great year" in Baltimore even though he just turned 31, calling him "an anomaly" who breaks the usual running-back aging curve. Long pointed to Henry’s 2023 production—1,921 rushing yards (second in the league) and a league-best 16 touchdowns—as proof that defenders still struggle to tackle him, especially when defenses must also account for Lamar Jackson’s keepers. He expects offensive coordinator Todd Monken to add more wrinkles that will make the Henry/Jackson backfield "even more potent," and he framed the Ravens’ two-year, $30 million extension as evidence they plan to continue leaning on the run. Long’s bottom line: keep viewing Henry as a top-tier season-long and DFS play despite the mileage.
