BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley posted his fewest scrimmage yards of the season last week against the Cowboys, running for 66 yards on 13 carries while losing five yards on his only reception of the game.
From a talent perspective, Saquon Barkley is still one of the best backs in the league, but sometimes that isn't going to really matter as much as circumstances matter. With Tommy Devito starting at QB for New York, the team just isn't having as many sustained drives, which is part of why Barkley had his second-fewest carries of the season last week.
Still, he's New York's best offensive player and he should get a decent number of touches, even if he likely won't touch the ball 20-plus times based on the past two games. He just has to be efficient with touches.
Considering he's been over four yards per touch in three of his last four games, Barkley can definitely end up posting a strong stat line. His ceiling may be down with DeVito at QB and the fact that he has just one rushing touchdown all year isn't very reassuring, but he's still a high-end RB2 play.
