Saquon Barkley

Productive in most poor rushing days

The Giants just got shut out by the Titans, with Saquon Barkley having his worst game all season. New York is at Indianapolis this week, and they're actually statistically better defending the run this year (8th) than Tennessee (12th). But no one should seriously be considering shying away from Barkley.

Maybe in TD-only, but not in standard yardage leagues, and definitely not in PPR. Barkley has been shut down plenty as a runner this season, but until last week he delivered really good all-around numbers anyway. In half of those six games, for example, he caught 9 passes.

Only two teams held Barkley under 100 total yards; only the Titans under 94. Barkley should bounce back at Indianapolis.
