Only eight times in NFL history has a running back racked up over 2,000 rushing yards and only once has a running back gone over 2,100 rushing yards. Will Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley become the second to go over 2,100 and eclipse the record of 2,105 in the process? He would need to average 121.4 rushing yards per game in the remaining five games of the season, which is a feat he’s achieved several times this season.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Barkley is currently at +300 to eclipse both Adrian Peterson and the record, a drop from +2000 after Week 11. After putting up an Eagles record 255 rushing yards in Week 12, his odds of passing 2,105 skyrocketed to +470 prior to Week 14. He leads the league in rushing yards with 1,499 and has the most carries in football with 426. With a strong finish to the season, Barkley could make history and join Eric Dickerson as the only players to reach 2,100 rushing yards.
