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?
That record was set by Eric Dickerson back in 1984, and the player that came closest was Adrian Peterson in 2012, when he finished with 2,097 rushing yards.
FanDuel Sportsbook has put up odds for Barkley to eclipse both Peterson and Dickerson, and he’s currently at +370 to achieve the feat.
Prior to Week 15, Barkley’s odds were at +300. However, after putting up just 65 yards rushing against Philly in Week 15, his odds dropped significantly to +750.
Then, this past week, he got back on track with a 150-yard performance at Washington.
Barkley leads the league in rushing yards with 1,838, and also has the most carries in football, with 314.
Assuming he plays the remainder of the season, Barkley has two games left to reach 2,106, meaning he would have to average 134 rushing yards per game.
He’s currently averaging 122.5 rushing yards per game. Six times this season he’s rushed for over 134 yards in a game.
