Saquon Barkley An Extremely Risky RB Option In Week 18
2 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is an extremely risky running back option in Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles. With the Giants clinching a playoff spot in Week 17 and not having a chance to improve or worsen their seeding, they are trending toward resting their key starters in Week 18. Taking that into account, New York likely won't risk playing the star running back on Sunday against the Eagles. Seeing that Barkley is unlikely to play in the regular-season finale, Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell will likely split the workload out of the backfield versus the Eagles.
