Giants expect to be without RB Saquon Barkley 'next several weeks'

Sep 23, 2019

The Giants are expecting to be without star RB Saquon Barkley for the next several weeks because of his high-ankle sprain, source said.

Related players: Wayne Gallman

Fantasy Impact:

We reported Sunday owners will need to be prepared to be without Barkley for Week 4 and likely longer. High ankle sprains tend to take a few weeks and Barkley was already in a boot and crutches by the end of the game. Gallman will likely be a popular pickup this week and looks to be in store for a bigger workload with Barkley out.

Steelers have signed QB Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for 2021.

Fantasy Impact:

It's highly unlikely we'll see a return to prior 2019 form for Ben Roethlisberger, but he remains the starter in Pittsburgh for 2021. Even without JuJu Smith-Schuster if he decides to sign elsewhere, the 39-year old QB does have plenty of surrounding offensive weapons and should be considered a QB2 heading into this season.

Giants released WR Golden Tate, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Last year wasn't the best for Golden Tate, who put up a 35-388-2 line for the Giants in 12 games. The 32-year old will look to get a gig with another NFL team, most likely a one-year deal.

The Saints have officially released TE Jared Cook and TE Josh Hill. The Cook move is procedural, as he was scheduled to be a free agent at the start of the new league year.

Fantasy Impact:

Jared Cook will be 34 at the start of the 2021 season and may have some trouble finding a starting gig, but does still have some playmaking abilities. Josh Hill could find work in the blocking department for a team this season, after spending all his eight-year career with the Saints. For now, Adam Trautman assumes the starting role in New Orleans at TE.
