Saquon Barkley Fantasy

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley(ankle) and tight end Evan Engram(knee) have been cleared for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals and appear to be set to return to their full workloads. Both should immediately be inserted back into lineups with elite matchups against an overmatched Cardinals Defense. Engram's return does knock Golden Tate's value a bit for this week, and Barkley's return means quarterbackDaniel Jones will be asked to throw the ball much less. However, this is great news overall for the Giants offense and perhaps the defense as well since the Giants will be able to sustain drives and give their defense a rest.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and tight end Evan Engram (knee) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. Barkley and Engram are both on track to return for a mouthwatering Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals. Barkley's owners have to be ecstatic that he will wind up missing just two games after suffering a mild high right ankle sprain. Barkley and Engram will be high-end fantasy options at their respective positions this weekend. The Cardinals allow the most fantasy points per game to the tight end position. The return of both players should also boost rookie quarterback Daniel Jones' appeal as a QB streamer.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots on Thursday night. Barkley is getting very close and could very well return in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the Cardinals. With Wayne Gallman (concussion) also ruled out for Thursday, it'll be a combination of rookie Jonathan Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny in the backfield behind rookie signal-caller Daniel Jones. Hilliman should only be considered by the most desperate fantasy owners in the deepest of leagues against New England's stout defense. The Patriots still haven't allowed a rushing or receiving touchdown to a running back this year.
