Draft note

by John Paulsen

Barkley had the No. 6 per game average last season, but only played 13 games, so he finished as the No. 10 running back. In 2018, he finished as the No. 1 running back with the second-highest per game average. The Giants added two tackles early in the draft (No. 4 overall pick Andrew Thomas and third-rounder Matt Peart), so the offensive line should be better in 2020. From a touches standpoint, it doesn’t get much safer than Barkley. He has seen 18+ touches in 26 of 29 career games.

Fantasy Impact:

Gallman was a scratch in Week 2, but could take over as the early-down back with Lewis assuming the pass catching role. Back in the offseason, there were reports the Giants had confidence in Gallman. Other reports say the Giants were hosting Freeman on a visit Monday.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Chicago Bears

Saquon Barkley had an extremely frustrating day against the Steelers on Monday night, with just six yards on 15 carries. He was often hit right as he got the handoff and was visibly bothered by his lack of production. Luckily, he somewhat salvaged the fantasy day with six catches and 60 yards receiving, but it was definitely not the way fantasy owners wanted to start the season.

He should rebound against Chicago this week. The Bears just allowed Adrian Peterson to rush for 93 yards on 14 carries after only about a week on the roster, so Barkley should have an opportunity to score big here. The Bears are really missing Eddie Goldman in the middle of their defensive line, so expect Barkley to find plenty of space in the heart of this defense and to put up great numbers. Barkley should always be active in all lineups for as long as he’s healthy.
