Saquon Barkley Headshot

Giants RB Saquon Barkley took a step back in Week 2, totaling 21 carries for 72 yards and 3 catches for 16 yards. Surprisingly, 65 of his rushing yards came in the 2nd half alone. The Giants fired off a whopping 70 plays but scored only 1 TD against Carolina. Barkley could have had a massive receiving day, as he led all Week 2 RBs with 34 routes run. He tallied just 4 targets, though, despite New York’s issues at WR. Continue to ride Barkley as an RB1 for a Monday night tilt vs. Dallas.
