Adam Schefter reported today that he does believe the league will ban the Tush Push next week.
Whether it should or shouldn’t be banned has been beaten half to death, but it strikes me that 2 players could see substantial value changes as a result:
1. Jalen Hurts - reduced TDs
2. Saquan Barkley - increased TDs
If this does indeed come to pass (and Schefter is as good as they come for these sorts of predictions, to the point I suspect he has inside info that it will happen) then…
1. How dramatic of a shift might this be for each of these players? 5 TD swing? 10? More? Fewer? Or will Hurts just find other ways to vulture?
2. How would you adjust their rankings/valuation in dynasty or redraft?
3. Would you be more active selling Barkley on the potential value spike?
4. Would you be more inclined to buy on Barkley in dynasty?
5. Would Barkley be the 1.01 in redraft, all formats?
Gotta admit, as a new Barkley shareholder it’s a very exciting time.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said his guess is that the NFL will ban the tush push during next week’s owners’ meeting.
Schefter didn’t cite any sources directly but reiterated the point later in the latest episode of The Adam Schefter Podcast, saying he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the owners voted to outlaw the play. Losing the free touchdown play would undoubtedly hurt Philly’s offense and Jalen Hurts’ fantasy outlook, but it’s hard to imagine a team with Hurts, an elite offensive line, and Saquon Barkley not finding other ways to get in the end zone from a yard out. If the tush push is banned, it would likely just shuffle some of Hurts’ touchdowns to Barkley. Other teams including the Bills have experimented with similar plays, but no one has found as much success as the Eagles. The owners will also be voting on a change to the playoff seeding rules. The proposed change would seed teams based purely on their record instead of each division winner earning a top-four seed. While that may be a more logical way to do things, it’s certainly less fun.
