Saquon Barkley Among Giants Starters Inactive Sunday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is a healthy scratch for Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expect Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell to handle rushing duties on Sunday. The Giants have secured a playoff berth, so they'll rest several key starters this week. In addition to Barkley, New York made Andrew Thomas, Dexter Lawrence, Leonard Williams (neck), Julian Love, Azeez Ojulari (ankle), and Adoree' Jackson (knee) all inactive on Sunday. Meanwhile, quarterback Daniel Jones is active but not expected to play.
Jan 8, 2023 • 8:07 PM | RotoBallerGiants Want Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley Back Next Season
The New York Giants are reportedly interested in extending both quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley this offseason. The team views these players as pieces to their long term future and are likely to offer them multi-year deals. Coming into the season, the Giants seemed uncertain about Jones, but he has proved himself on the field. The 25-year-old has been a major factor to the success of this offense. It's less shocking that the Giants want to bring back Barkley. The 25-year-old is usually a stud when healthy, but has battled through injuries throughout his career. There is certainly risk with signing him to a long-term deal. However, the Giants appear to have interest in bringing back both players in 2023.
Jan 1, 2023 • 2:56 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Won't Face Restrictions Against Commanders
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that running back Saquon Barkley (neck) will not have any restrictions placed on him in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Barkley was a game-time decision going into last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he ultimately played and didn't suffer any setbacks. The 25-year-old star RB played a season-low 31 percent of the offensive snaps, but that wasn't due to the injury, rather because the Giants were getting blown out. With a full workload upcoming this Sunday night, Barkley should be able to bounce back as a true RB1 for fantasy managers. He currently ranks as the RB7 in half-point PPR scoring through 14 weeks.
Dec 15, 2022 • 5:54 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley A Full-Go In Practice Wednesday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) was a full-go in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Barkley was a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he ultimately played and didn't have any in-game setbacks, so he should be fine to suit up on Sunday night against the Washington Commanders in Week 15. The 25-year-old had a rough day for his fantasy managers in negative game script on Sunday, carrying only nine times for 28 yards while catching both his targets for 20 yards in a blowout loss. Barkley should bounce back as a must-start RB1 this weekend. He had 18 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 18 yards against Washington just two weeks ago in Week 13.
Dec 14, 2022 • 8:40 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Has "No Doubt" Regarding Week 15 Availability
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) had a "50-50" chance of playing in the Week 14 loss to Philadelphia. While the former Nittany Lion struggled, totaling 48 scrimmage yards, he was out there despite serious concerns regarding his availability heading into Sunday's game. Fortunately, Barkley indirectly provided reassurance to fantasy managers, stating that although he suffered a "stinger" in practice on Wednesday, he has "no doubt" he'll be ready for the rematch with the Commanders in Week 15. Hopefully, with some more time to rest, he'll be 100% against a tough Washington defense.
Dec 11, 2022 • 10:22 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley To Play In Week 14
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) will suit up for the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This is great news after the star running back was considered a 50/50 shot due to a neck injury. Head coach Brian Daboll has confirmed Barkley will play and it doesn't sound like he'll be limited. This is an outstanding spot for Barkley against the shaky Eagles run defense. Fantasy managers should consider Barkley an elite RB1 for this Week 14 matchup.
Dec 11, 2022 • 4:09 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley A True Game-Time Decision
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) is "legitimately 50-50" to play in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley did do drills in practice on Saturday, was first in line for running back drills and looked to be moving around OK. Most people expect him to play on Sunday, but he truly is a game-time decision this weekend. The good news is fantasy managers will know if the 25-year-old is active early on Sunday morning. If Barkley is playing, he'll be at risk of being spelled more often by Matt Breida, but he's absolutely a must-start in starting fantasy lineups. If the Giants hold him out, Breida should see the majority of backfield work, with Gary Brightwell serving as his backup.
Dec 10, 2022 • 5:05 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Questionable To Face Eagles
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) is officially questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. Barkley has proven to be durable this season after two years of injury issues, but he's back on the injury report in 2022. Barkley logged limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so he does have a chance to suit up. However, neck injuries are obviously serious, so it could go either way for Sunday. The Eagles are just a neutral matchup for fantasy running backs and Barkley remains a must-start if he's active.
Dec 9, 2022 • 7:23 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley's Status In Doubt For Week 14
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that it's possible running back Saquon Barkley's (neck) status is in doubt for Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Daboll hopes Barkley will play, but his neck is sore and he was limited in practice on Thursday. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually never good, so fantasy managers really need to have a backup plan in place in case the 25-year-old star RB is limited or out this weekend. Barkley has been the RB6 in half-point PPR scoring in 2022, so losing him for the week would be a big blow for fantasy squads relying on him to get them into the fantasy playoffs. If Barkley is unable to play, Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell figure to split the backfield work against the Eagles.
Dec 9, 2022 • 5:00 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Limited On Thursday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) was limited during Thursday's practice. This is a bit of a surprise to see Barkley pop up on the injury report with a neck injury. It doesn't sound like this is something that is going to stop Barkley from playing against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. The hope is that this neck issue won't impact his performance on the field. If healthy, Barkley is a strong RB1 heading into this Week 14 matchup with Philly. Fantasy managers will have to check back after Friday's practice for another update on Barkley.
Dec 8, 2022 • 11:36 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley, Giants Engage In Extension Talks
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley engaged in long-term extension talks with the team during last week's bye, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. While they couldn't quite reach an agreement, Rapoport writes that the team "made a good run at" making Barkley one of the highest-paid running backs. Previously, general manager Joe Schoen made it clear that the team would only discuss extensions during their bye week, so it can be assumed that talks have been paused and will pick back up in the offseason. The former No. 2 pick has been incredible this season, racking up 779 rushing yards, 189 receiving yards, and five total touchdowns.
Nov 13, 2022 • 1:20 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley's Future Still Unclear
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in the final year of his contract, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason. A lot of speculation about his future has occurred, but according to General Manager Joe Schoen, the team has yet to decide. When asked about their superstar tailback, he stated, "there's nine games left, so it's an ongoing evaluation for everybody on the roster." The 25-year-old has remained healthy, playing in all eight games with impressive production. He has 163 carries for 779 yards and five touchdowns, plus another 28 receptions for 189 yards through the air. Barkley is currently the RB4 in half-PPR scoring, establishing himself as a valuable player in all formats, especially in keeper and dynasty leagues, where a new deal would be beneficial.
Nov 2, 2022 • 1:01 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Will Play Against Jaguars
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) wasn't listed with an injury designation on Friday and will suit up in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Barkley initially injured his shoulder in Week 5 but played through it in the Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens and carried the ball 25 times for 95 yards and a touchdown. The 25-year-old has managed to play in all six games so far this year and has been a top-five fantasy back that has pretty much carried New York's offense. Jacksonville's defense is tied for eighth in points allowed per game in half-point PPR leagues to RBs, so Barkley remains a must-start in fantasy lineups this weekend as the centerpiece of the offense.
Oct 21, 2022 • 7:13 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Limited Again Thursday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Barkley initially injured his shoulder in Week 5, but he hasn't missed any time and should be just fine to play in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been carrying the Giants offense and fantasy managers through the first six weeks, receiving a league-high 119 carries for 616 yards (career-high 5.2 yards per carry) and four touchdowns while also catching 21 passes for 155 yards. In half-point PPR leagues, he's third among RBs in total fantasy points and will remain a high-end, must-start RB1 moving forward as long as he remains healthy.
Oct 20, 2022 • 6:01 PM | RotoBallerBrian Daboll Has No Concerns About Saquon Barkley's Shoulder
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past few weeks. The shoulder injury hasn't forced the star running back to miss any games, but he has received medical attention during the past couple of contests. However, head coach Brian Daboll reportedly has no concerns about the former No. 2 overall draft pick. Barkley has returned to his rookie form this year, averaging 18.9 half-point PPR fantasy points in 2022. More importantly, he is the RB3 for the year. Hopefully, the shoulder injury doesn't become a problem for the star running back.
Oct 19, 2022 • 6:06 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Not On Final Injury Report
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was removed from the final Week 6 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley got in three limited practice this week but will be good to go in Week 6 and will remain a must-start RB1 for fantasy managers. The 25-year-old is a big reason why the G-Men have opened up with a surprising 4-1 record, as he has 97 carries for 533 yards (career-high 5.5 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns while also catching 18 of 23 targets for 143 additional yards in five games. Keep Barkley firmly locked into your starting fantasy lineups this weekend.
Oct 14, 2022 • 7:01 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Limited During Thursday's Practice
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice. This is back-to-back days that Barkley has been limited due to a lingering shoulder issue. Despite that, head coach Brian Daboll doesn't believe this injury should sideline Barkley. In fact, Daboll believes Barkley will be able to handle a full workload against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Whatever happens during Friday's practice will be a big factor in determining whether or not Barkley plays this week. He'll be a must-start RB1, assuming he does suit up against the Ravens.
Oct 13, 2022 • 10:45 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley To Be Limited Wednesday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Brian Daboll. However, there doesn't appear to be much concern on Barkley's status for the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley left last Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers in London, but he was able to return and should be just fine for this weekend, barring some sort of setback. The 25-year-old has been the MVP of New York's offense through the first five weeks, carrying the rock 97 times for 533 yards (career-high 5.5 yards per carry) and three touchdowns while also catching 18 of 23 targets for 143 yards. Barkley is a must-start RB1 if he's active against Baltimore.
Oct 12, 2022 • 7:38 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Returns In Week 5
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) has checked back into Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers in London. The NFL's rushing leader, Barkley has been the centerpiece of New York's offense with so many wide receivers injured. His return not only brings relief to fantasy managers but is also pivotal for a Giants team looking to edge out Green Bay overseas.
Oct 9, 2022 • 4:10 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Questionable To Return In Week 5
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) is questionable to return for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. He hit the ground hard while being tackled in the third quarter. Barkley briefly went to the medical tent and wanted to re-enter the contest. However, the Giants want to make sure Barkley is fine and have taken him into the locker room. His day could be over, but hopefully this isn't anything serious. Matt Breida should be the primary running back until Barkley returns.
Oct 9, 2022 • 3:54 PM | RotoBallerSaquon Barkley Eager To Prove His Skeptics Wrong
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is eager to prove his critics wrong this season. "People are really counting me out. People are trying to write me off," said Barkley during a podcast interview. "But now I have that extra motivation, the extra motivation to push me to go out there and kinda just be like, you know what, shut everyone up." It's obvious the 25-year-old has plenty of talent. However, injuries have caused his fantasy stock to plummet over the last few seasons. Nevertheless, Barkley came into training camp in fantastic shape, and with new head coach Brian Daboll at the helm, the sky is the limit.
