- Will Saquon Barkley pace the NFL again? Barkley’s talent behind an Eagles offensive line that generated more than 1,000 yards before contact for running backs last season puts the NFL rushing title well within reach.
- Bet on Justin Fields to feature heavily on the ground: Without a ton of proven help in the receiving game, the dynamic dual-threat quarterback will need to make some magic happen with his legs, just as he did in 2022, when he rushed for more than 1,100 yards.

Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles
- Line: Most rushing yards in the NFL (+250)
- PFF Projection: 1,373 rushing yards
Barkley’s 2024 campaign was one for the record books, as he amassed 2,005 rushing yards during the regular season, becoming the ninth back in NFL history to join the 2,000-yard club. He didn’t stop there, continuing that dominant performance in the playoffs and finishing his season with more than 2,500 yards on the ground to become the first player in NFL history to accomplish the feat.
Now, Barkley will aim to exceed that production in 2025. He’ll look to become the first back in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. He boasts the requisite talent and the offensive line to make it happen. The Eagles’ front-five generated 2.3 yards before contact per attempt for running backs last season, the highest average in the NFL, and helped the rushing attack generate more than 1,000 yards before contact — the only team to do so.
With that type of push up front, Barkley’s projection of a shade under 1,400 rushing yards is well within reach. And so is the NFL rushing title.
Pick: Saquon Barkley to lead the NFL in rushing yardage (+250)
| Name | Rushing Attempts Projection | Rushing Yards Projection |
| Saquon Barkley | 292.05 | 1,373.33 |
| Jonathan Taylor | 301.98 | 1,311.73 |
| Derrick Henry | 270.84 | 1,306.97 |
| Bijan Robinson | 273.67 | 1,228.57 |
| Ashton Jeanty | 276.36 | 1,227.91 |
| Bucky Irving | 256.50 | 1,209.92 |
| Kyren Williams | 267.01 | 1,174.91 |
| Josh Jacobs | 260.68 | 1,131.81 |
| Quinshon Judkins | 248.93 | 1,093.69 |
| Jahmyr Gibbs | 230.35 | 1,078.56 |
Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns
While it can be difficult to project usage for rookies, oddsmakers are coming in significantly lower on Judkins than what we’re seeing from PFF’s projections, both in yards and touchdowns.
The differential is largely attributed to Judkins’ assumed role within the Browns’ offense. His lines indicate he will take on more of a secondary role within the backfield, with incumbent Jerome Ford and fellow rookie Dylan Sampson waiting in the wings.
However, his PFF projection forecasts a starting role. Judkins’ college track record speaks for itself: He logged more than 1,000 rushing yards and never fell below an 87.0 PFF rushing grade in each of his three seasons.
Cleveland’s quarterback situation remains muddy, so the offense should look to lean on the running game. Even if Judkins isn’t tabbed as the lead dog, there will be plenty of work to go around, something he proved he could handle during his time at Ohio State last season when he generated 1,060 yards on 5.5 yards per carry while playing alongside TreVeyon Henderson.
Pick: Over 650.5 rushing yards (-110)
| Name | Rushing Yards Projection | Rushing Yards Line | Rushing Yards Differential | Rushing TD Projection | Rushing TD Line | Rushing TD Differential |
| Quinshon Judkins | 1,093.69 | 650.50 | 443.19 | 7.75 | 4.50 | 3.25 |
| Kenneth Walker III | 1,005.41 | 875.50 | 129.91 | 8.45 | 6.50 | 1.95 |
| Ashton Jeanty | 1,227.91 | 1,075.50 | 152.41 | 9.38 | 7.50 | 1.88 |
| Alvin Kamara | 890.01 | 725.50 | 164.51 | 6.29 | 4.50 | 1.79 |
| Christian McCaffrey | 1,037.95 | 925.50 | 112.45 | 8.04 | 6.50 | 1.54 |
Justin Fields, New York Jets
Unlike last season in Pittsburgh, Fields is in the driver’s seat for the Jets through the 2025 campaign. Without a ton of proven help in the receiving game outside of Garrett Wilson, the dynamic dual-threat quarterback will need to make some magic happen with his legs.
Fortunately, Fields is more than comfortable with playing outside the pocket and scrambling for quality yardage, as well as being a featured piece within a rushing scheme on designed quarterback runs.
Over the past decade, a quarterback has managed to surpass 550 rushing yards in a season 29 times. Fields accounts for two instances. That includes his outstanding performance in 2022, when he rushed for more than 1,100 yards — the second most by a quarterback in the PFF era and just the fourth time a signal-caller has eclipsed 1,000.
With a full season of running the show in New York, Fields can easily go over this line (550.5).
Pick: Over 550.5 rushing yards (-115)
| Name | Rushing Yards Projection | Rushing Yards Line | Rushing Yards Differential |
| Justin Fields | 738.42 | 550.50 | 187.92 |
| Jayden Daniels | 809.71 | 675.50 | 134.21 |
| Drake Maye | 440.59 | 425.50 | 15.09 |
| Josh Allen | 500.33 | 500.50 | -0.17 |
| Caleb Williams | 414.77 | 425.50 | -10.73 |
| Jalen Hurts | 588.09 | 600.50 | -12.41 |
| Kyler Murray | 431.61 | 475.50 | -43.89 |
| Lamar Jackson | 698.50 | 750.50 | -52.00 |
Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
Although Williams is rightfully seen as a talented NFL running back, he doesn’t quite receive the recognition he deserves as one of the most productive runners in the league. Since taking over as the Rams’ lead back in 2023, Williams has exceeded 1,100 yards each season, amounting to more than 2,400 regular-season yards — the third most in the NFL, behind just Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley.
Williams is poised to build on his career-best 1,299 yards last season (seventh most) at just 25 years old.
Volume powers his production, with his 316 carries during the 2024 regular season ranking as the third most in the NFL. Although Williams’ projection for 2025 comes in quite a bit lower at 267 attempts, with Blake Corum and rookie Jarquez Hunter in the fold, he is still secured at the head of this backfield.
With Williams entering a contract year and currently in extension talks, he should put his best foot forward in 2025.
Pick: Over 1,000.5 rushing yards (-110)
| Name | Rushing Attempts Projection | Rushing Yards Projection | Rushing Yards Line | Rushing Yards Differential |
| Quinshon Judkins | 248.93 | 1,093.69 | 650.50 | 443.19 |
| Bucky Irving | 256.50 | 1,209.92 | 1,000.50 | 209.42 |
| Omarion Hampton | 226.25 | 993.77 | 800.50 | 193.27 |
| Kyren Williams | 267.01 | 1,174.91 | 1,000.50 | 174.41 |
| Ashton Jeanty | 276.36 | 1,227.91 | 1,075.50 | 152.41 |

Why Yankees’ Aaron Boone wanted Joe Torre coaching alongside him again
NEW YORK — Two spring trainings ago, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone needed to convince legendary manager Joe Torre to wear the pinstripes once more. It had been 17 years since he wore the Yankees’ No. 6 jersey.But a few hours after Torre arrived at George M. Steinbrenner Field as a guest instructor, Boone succeeded in getting Torre back in uniform. A few days later, Torre made a pitching change. Yankees fans were treated to that slow, lumbering walk out to the mound. Torre was showered with a standing ovation.Advertisement“I think he loved it,” Boone said Tuesday, reminiscing about Torre’s presence at camp. “I know our guys love being around him.

Caitlin Clark’s insane shooting range is breaking the WNBA playbook
Caitlin Clark is doing things on a basketball court that don't seem real - and she's only in her second WNBA season. Known for her deep range and fearless shot selection, Clark isn't just expanding her game - she's expanding the game itself.She's already missed five games this year. That makes the stat you're about to read even more ridiculous.Caitlin Clark needs to work on her body language as she appear fully annoyed with her teammateSo far this season, Clark is 8-of-18 from beyond 28 feet. To put that in perspective: that's as many made deep threes as six entire teams combined - the Sparks, Storm, Wings, Valkyries, Aces, and Lynx. The only team that's kept up is the Atlanta Dream, who've redesigned their offense to prioritize long-range shooting. She's Not Just Deep - She's Off the MapClark's not just […]
Mets place starter Tylor Megill on 15-day IL with right elbow sprain
ATLANTA — On the precipice of getting their starting rotation fully healthy, the Mets have lost their second starter in the last week. Right-hander Tylor Megill was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow sprain on Tuesday. Megill will miss at least the next month.Megill felt “pulling” in his elbow, especially on breaking balls, in Saturday’s start against the Rays. A subsequent MRI revealed inflammation but no structural damage in his elbow. He’ll take the next seven to 10 days off from throwing to allow the inflammation to subside before being reevaluated.Advertisement“Obviously I want to be healthy and make every start I can,” said Megill, who owns a 3.96 ERA on the season. “It really affected my stuff. I’m glad to know what it was…. Considering all things elbow-related, this is probably the best outcome.”The timing is […]
