Eagles' 'Tush Push' is Costing Saquon Barkley Serious Fantasy Points
The New York Giants running back is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry behind an offensive line that has struggled to generate push
Barkley has been one of the most disappointing fantasy players this season, and his struggles can be traced back to the Eagles' defensive strategy
The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this season, and their success has been due in large part to their dominant defense.
One of the ways the Eagles have been able to slow down opposing offenses is by using a defensive strategy known as the "tush push."
The tush push involves the Eagles' defensive linemen pushing their opponents backward with their butts, which creates a gap for the linebackers to come through and make tackles.
This strategy has been particularly effective against the New York Giants, who have struggled to generate any push on the offensive line.
As a result, Giants running back Saquon Barkley has been one of the most disappointing fantasy players this season.
Barkley is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry, and he has yet to score a touchdown.
The Giants' offensive line has been a major problem for Barkley, and the Eagles' tush push has only made it worse.
If the Giants want to turn things around, they will need to find a way to generate more push on the offensive line.
Otherwise, Barkley will continue to struggle, and the Giants will continue to lose.
