Saquon Barkley is peaking and ready to push for rushing title

His recent surge has vaulted Saquon Barkley into contention for the NFL rushing title. With 1,124 yards entering Sunday against the Titans, he is third in the league, 79 yards behind Todd Gurley and 138 yards behind Ezekiel Elliott.

Barkley is on an upswing, coming off a season-high 170 yards against the Redskins and averaging 134.5 yards in his past four games. With the Rams and Cowboys possibly locking up their spots in the playoffs, Gurley and Elliott might not be given full workloads the last two games, which could help Barkley make up the difference.
