NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Detroit Lions

Saquon Barkley had another great game last week against the Texans. He carried the ball an astounding 35 times in a Giants victory, gaining 152 yards and his sixth touchdown of the season. Barkley has been nothing short of fantastic this year and, with that kind of workload, should remain in elite fantasy territory every time he suits up.

This week, Barkley faces a Lions defense that ranks 25th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect another busy day for Barkley and in such a great matchup, he should be considered an elite fantasy option in all leagues. Start him.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Houston Texans

Saquon Barkley was held to just 53 yards on 20 carries against the Seahawks before the bye last week. However, he found the end zone for the fifth time this season and caught three balls, giving him a decent enough finish in most formats. Barkley is in the midst of an excellent season, with 4.8 yards per carry – best since his stellar rookie year – and the third-most rushing yards in the league.

Barkley has a phenomenal matchup this week against the Texans, who rank dead last in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect another busy day in what should be a positive games script for the Giants, and elite fantasy numbers should follow. We have him ranked as our top option this week and he should be active in all leagues.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Seattle Seahawks

Saquon Barkley continued his stellar season with 110 yards on the ground and another 25 on four receptions against the Jaguars last week. Barkley trails only Nick Chubb with 726 rushing yards so far this year, and he’s been one of the biggest reasons for the Giants’ surprising 6-1 record.

Barkley has a nice matchup this week against the Seahawks, who rank 28th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect another busy day for Barkley, who averages 24 touches per game this year. He’s a must-start every week and we have him ranked as an elite fantasy option once again.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Saquon Barkley continued his excellent season with 95 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries and three receptions last week in a victory over the Ravens. Barkley has double-digit fantasy points in every game this season and is averaging 23.3 touches per game. He’s now the RB3 on the season in fantasy points and should continue to be the focal point of an offense that lacks weapons.

This week, Barkley has a great matchup against the Jaguars. Jacksonville just allowed 10 catches and a rushing touchdown to Deon Jackson and they rank 23rd in aFPA to opposing running backs. We have Barkley ranked as an elite option again this week and he should be active in all leagues.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Saquon Barkley continued his comeback season last week against the Packers, rushing 13 times and catching three balls for a total of 106 yards and a touchdown. Barkley is currently the RB3 in fantasy this year and has been about as consistent as they come, with double-digit fantasy points in every game. He hurt his shoulder at the end of the game in London, but early indications are that it won’t bother him.

Assuming Barkley is good to go physically, he’ll face a Ravens defense that has been middle-of-the-pack this year, ranking 17th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Make sure to keep an eye on the injury report, but as long as there are no health setbacks, start Barkley in every league as an elite fantasy option.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Green Bay Packers (London)

Saquon Barkley continued his nice start to the season last week in a victory over the Bears, rushing for 146 yards on 31 carries. He also added two receptions for 16 yards and now has 15 catches on the season. Barkley is really the only thing going right on the New York offense and is the primary reason the team is off to a 3-1 start.

This week, Barkley faces a Packers defense that ranks ninth in aFPA to opposing running backs. Despite the tougher matchup, Barkley is a must-start. Looking healthy, we have Barkley ranked as an elite fantasy option this week and he should be active in all leagues.

NYG RB Saquon Barkley - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Chicago Bears

Saquon Barkley had a nice game against the Cowboys Monday night. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry on his way to 81 yards and a touchdown, adding another 45 yards on four receptions. Barkley is having the bounce-back season we all hoped for so far, with 13 receptions, 408 scrimmage yards, and two touchdowns through three games. He is the only reason the Giants’ offense has been worth watching.

This week, Barkley faces a Bears defense that has been very susceptible to the run so far this season. They gave up 80 yards and a touchdown to Dameon Pierce last week, got steamrolled by Aaron Jones in Week 2, and opened the season allowing over six yards per carry to both Deebo Samuel and Elijah Mitchell. Start Barkley as an elite RB1 this week.
