Saquon Barkley Fantasy

New York Giants running back Javorius Allen saw his first real action of the year, collecting 28 yards and a touchdown in relief of Saquon Barkley. Almost all of Allen's work came on a late fourth-quarter drive when the Giants were up comfortably and rested Barkley, so there's not much stand-alone value in future weeks. However, if the Giants go up big on the Redskins next week, he could see some more garbage time work.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley took advantage of his prime matchup on Sunday and finally had his first big game since coming back from his ankle injury. The second-year star abused the Dolphins Defense for 112 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while catching four passes for another 31 yards. He gave up some work to his back-up, Javorius Allen, with the Giants up late, but this is a good sign for his health. He should keep it rolling next week against the Redskins.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in a prime spot to explode for fantasy owners on Sunday versus the Dolphins. With Eli Manning under center, Saquon Barkley saw 20 touches on 49 total snaps. The Eagles Defense kept him in check, but if Barkley is going to see touches on over 40% of his total snaps then he should be in for a big day against a Dolphins Defense that allows 27 PPR points per game to running backs. Barkley should be a high-end RB1 in season-long leagues and could be a great DFS option since people have begun to doubt his talent over recent weeks.
